Drivers using an accident blackspot in Calverley are to get an extra reminder about sticking to the speed limit.
Vehicle Activated Signs (VAS) will be installed along Woodhall Road to reinforce the 30mph limit and warn about staggered junctions.

The signs, which will cost £8,400, are used to alert drivers of their speed and to tell them of any upcoming changes in the road. "SLOW" markings and red-coloured road surfacing will also be introduced.
Councillor Andrew Carter (Cons, Calverley and Farsley) said: "I have been pressing for this work for some time. The VAS signs are a priority and need to be put in place as quickly as possible. There have been far too many accidents along Woodhall Road and residents are rightly concerned.
"I have made it clear to the Council's Highways Department that if these new signs do not work, then alternative measures will need to be implemented. "
Coun Joe Marjoram (Cons, Calverley and Farsley) said : "This is a residential area with a number of junctions off the main road. Vehicles breaking the speed limit are risking their own lives and those of other drivers and pedestrians.
"I hope that these new measures will succeed in getting the important safety message across to all road users."
