Speed Cameras
The Town Council have 4 SIDs (Speed Indicator Devices) located around Hungerford which are moved around seven different locations. The Town and Manor have a further two sites on the Common near the Down Gate and Kintbury Gate. The data collection is shared by the Council and Town & Manor. All the locations have been approved by West Berkshire, the highway authority. There is also a solar panel on one SID, which saves us having to change the battery twice per week. The SIDs on the Common used to operate only when cattle was grazing but this is now all the time to help reduce speeding throughout the year. The nine locations are as follows:
- A4 Eastbound about 50m east of Cottrell Close
- A4 Westbound across the road from Dobbies Garden Centre
- A4 Westbound Charnham Street, 100m west of the BMW garage
- A4 Eastbound Charnham Street on Charnham Lane
- A338 Salisbury Road Northbound, 100m south of Priory Rd
- A338 Salisbury Road Southbound, 200m south of Priory Rd
- A338 High Street, Northbound
- Park Street Eastbound on the Common, 150m east of the Down Gate (Town & Manor)
- Hungerford Road Westbound on the Common, 100m west of Kintbury gate.(Town & Manor)
