Following comments made about the perceived excessive speed of some vehicles travelling on Moor road Prudhoe, close to PCHS I asked that a further speed survey was carried out.
The result is shown below-
For information, the 85th percentile is that speed at which 85% of vehicles are travelling or less, while the remaining 15% of vehicles will be travelling above that speed. Within a 30mph speed limit, the 85th percentile is required to be a minimum of 35mph for enforcement to be considered by the police.
The Police have been asked to pay attention to the area and carry out speed checks when the have the capacity.
Speed calming measures were put in place a few years ago.
