The residents of Glen Mona have for many years been concerned with the speed of traffic on the A2 through the village and past the Dhoon School. Those passing through the area will now notice the reappearance of 'Smiley Face' Speed Indicator Signs which are designed to provide a gentle reminder to drivers of their speed. Evidence gathered by the Commissioners in previous years, demonstrated that they had a marked effect on calming traffic.
The DoI had provided the two signs in 2005 which the Commissioners warden maintained and monitored. However, these were re-called several years ago and have not reappeared.
Due to pressure from the community, the Commissioners took the decision to source, install and maintain them in this sensitive location. ¶ 20:40
