Observations on a wet Friday afternoon suggest that a large proportion of drivers using Wetherby Road are triggering the Vehicle Activated Speed signs.
42% of drivers exiting the City triggered the 30 mph warning signs.
Few drivers seemed – in less than ideal conditions – to be speeding excessively. Many did bake after the warning sign illuminated – suggesting that the signs do affect the driving characteristics of many drivers.
Nevertheless the results may prompt the police to crack down on speeding on the road.

York High has achieved outstanding exam results this year with 95% of pupils gaining 5 or more GCSE A – C grades. Not only is that the best performance by any school in York, but it is also amongst the best in the country (where the average is around 75%).
The school has come along way since it moved into its new Cornlands Road home and congratulations are due to pupils and staff for an outstanding turn round.
