A MAJOR Dorset road will be hit by traffic restrictions at night for a year as work is carried out.
Motorists travelling on A31 trunk road between the Verwood interchange and the Bere Regis roundabout will face speed restrictions from March 12 overnight.
A 40 mile per hour speed limit will be in place on the stretch as employees from the Highways Agency carry out essential carriageway repairs.
The restrictions will come into force overnight throughout the week, including: l Monday to Thursday nights from 10pm until 5am l Friday nights from 11pm until 6am l Saturday nights from 10pm until 7am l Sunday nights from 11pm until 5am Lay-bys and bus lay-bys will also be closed overnight to ensure contractors can work safely.

hope it's enforced so those that seem to think speed limits are only for other people have to slow down. There's a section of 40mph on the road past The Worlds End pub to near the Bere Regis roundabout that i seem to end up leading a convoy along because I'm actually sticking to the limit- when will motorists start acting like grown-ups rather than spoilt children who think they such be able to drive however they want , whatever the potential consequences?
