New radar speed signs have been planned in two locations in an efforts to improve road safety following a fatal crash.

New radar speed signs are set to be installed along Goldhay Way and Wistow Way in the Ortons.

The signs measure the speed at which a car is travelling down the road and display it back to drivers.

The signs will be funded by the Orton Waterville Parish Council at the request of the Greens on Peterborough City Council; who are represented in Orton Waterville by Cllrs Nicola Day and Alex Bowerbanks.

The urgency of road safety measures was made apparent in October when a motorcyclist was killed following a crash on the junction of Goldhay Way and Osprey.

The signs are expected to be installed around August 11-13.

Speaking about the importance of the signs, Cllr Bowerbanks said: “The issues were brought to all of our attentions as an issue of great importance following the tragic motorcycle accident.

"We don’t want that to be repeated and it is terrible it tends to be reactionary work to prevent these incidents happening again.

"We spoke to resident groups and Peterborough City Council to see where best these measures could so. We also worked with Orton Waterville Parish Council, who kindly offered to pay for the signs and they should be installed shortly.

"One of these accidents it too many and this is how we have decided to go about making our community safer for everyone.”
