The Parish Council manage the SAM2, recharging the batteries, rotation of the SAM2 and general maintenance of the sign itself.   These signs are portable temporary speed reactive equipment and are deployed throughout Norfolk in response to community safety concerns. The SAM2 system provides drivers with a flashing message asking them to slow down if they exceed the posted speed limit. These signs are placed on brackets that are secured to street furniture so that they can be moved from location to location to provide enhanced persuasion for drivers at perceived local problem sites. Sites are chosen by the Parish Council in agreement with the County Council and the manufacturer
of the signs.

 

The Parish Council has 2 SAM 2 machines, with one based in each village.  They are positioned at a number of key areas within the village and moved at regularly intervals.  The machine records the speed which vehicles pass it.  This information is collated and can be used to monitor both speeding hot spots and busy times of day.  Please see the documents below for data.

 

Note – The machine can not record number plates and therefore the data can not be used for enforcement reasons
