60mph from Swindon right up to the northern entrance then its 30 though the circle.
60 along the kennet ave and also 60 from trusloe to Beckhampton.
The county council says that 3 people have to be killed on the same bit of road before the speed limit is revued.
At Winterboutne Monkton JP erected a lifesize cardboard policeman and put it in his garden to slow people down before they entered Avebury. That slowed the traffic for a while but he was made to take it down by the council.
In the last 6 years I have seen 4 dead bodies near Silbaby where the road goes over waden hill after a police chase with some joyriders ended in the car overturning.
2 people were killed when an american couple who had visited WKLB pulled away from the layby on the wrong side of the road and hit a car coming over the hill.
2 bikers on biker night (Wednesdays) raced each other past Silbury one evening and hit a lorry head on. Both died.
At Beckhampton roundabout a speeding car hit a local Dr's daughter and killed her outright (she was just 18)
and 18 year old 'halfpint' from Berwick hit a tree and died instantly coming back from Marlborough one night in 2004.
The NT say they want Avebury to be totaly car free within 50 years (if we still have any petrol left by then.)
If the locals can't get anything to change what chance anyone else?
