COUNTY road chiefs are slamming the brakes on motorists who speed through an accident blackspot on the A3057 near King's Somborne.
Monday sees the introduction of 40mph limits at Lower Brook and Brook, between King's Somborne and the Mottisfont turning. Villagers have campaigned for years after a number of fatalities and serious injury accidents. Gateway-style entrances will be introduced on the approaches to both villages.
This will include red anti-skid strip surfacing across the width of the A3057 and Brook and Lower Brook nameplates underneath each 40 speed limit sign. New speed limits will also be applied north of King's Somborne and south of Timsbury.
