Abstract

In 1994 research began on the effectiveness of traffic calming measures on busy roads with a significant proportion of heavy goods vehicles. Measures on the A49, at Craven Arms, included a gateways on each approach, with speed cushions, mini roundabouts, painted 30mph roundels on patches of red surface, refuges and centre hatching on a red background in the village itself. Results of before and after measurements and ground vibration monitoring, along with a public opinion survey, are presented in this report.
