New signs for motorists driving through rural areas
‘Gateways’ are soon to be introduced into two rural areas in the borough, as part of a road safety scheme set up by the borough council.
One of the aims of the Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council's ‘streets for people, roads for cars'’ initiative is to introduce ‘gateways', which involve enhanced signing and road markings to warn motorists that they are approaching a rural village or town.
