Westfield Parish Council was delighted to see the installation of the smiley face speed indicator device outside Westfield Primary School this week.
The Fosseway and Wells Road suffer from relentlessly heavy traffic on a particularly narrow stretch of road and, as such, the safety of pedestrians and, in particular, of children on their route to school has been of concern to many people.
Cllr Geoff Fuller, Chair of Westfield Parish Council, said: "This is an important part of a much-needed initiative to address the problem of speeding through Westfield and our thanks go to Bath and North East Somerset Council and, in particular, to Stefan Chiffers, Highways, for recognising the need and arranging the installation of the speed indicator device."
Paying tribute to the efficient installation of the device by Traffic Technology Ltd earlier in the day, Stefan Chiffers, of Bath and North East Somerset Council, commented: "We are hoping all drivers will display the smiley face to increase road safety near the school."
