A COUNCIL is taking further steps to slow traffic on a busy road.
Signs flashing the 20mph speed limit to motorists driving too fast are being introduced in Pannal Ash Road, Harrogate.
Councillor Julian Sturdy, cabinet member for public works, said: "While serious accidents are relatively low, a major incident last year did cause concern.
"Although only 15 per cent of vehicles using the road exceed 36 mph, we do believe there is potential for serious injury, which is why we are taking this further action."
New warning signs were introduced and a pedestrian crossing built, but residents say these have not sufficiently reduced speeding traffic.
