Traffic management in Brill

A village poll in January 2022 placed parking and speeding as the top two traffic-related concerns within the community. See the results and read comments submitted by respondents. The Parish Council is now planning the next steps. Follow out Traffic Management Blog for updates.

Cllr Steven Judge (co-opted to the Parish Council in May 2022) will be leading this project.

Here are some of the resources that will help our decision making:

MVAS data

The most recent data from our (now broken) Moveable Vehicle Activated Sign (MVAS) covers the period December 11th 2020 to January 1st 2021. During those three weeks, the MVAS was set up to record speeds of vehicles entering the village along the Thame road. Note that although the average speed is around 30mph this actually means that half of all drivers are speeding. There were two serious speeders, both in the 55mph category.

Update (posted June 6)

We have now ordered two new MVAS through Haddenham & Waddesdon Community Board, who will pay half the cost. Installing and operating the devices is a complicated process but we will do our best to expedite this.
