Help Make Our Roads Safer: 'All Out Day' 11th July

FORCEWIDE

On Friday July 11, we are joining forces with local Community Speed Watch (CSW) teams for ‘All Out Day’, a high-visibility campaign to tackle speeding and promote safer driving. This day of action will see teams across the UK monitoring their local roads sending the message to drivers to drive safely.

What is Community Speed Watch?

Community Speed Watch is a programme designed to empower local residents to take action against speeding in their local communities, volunteers will be out and about, monitoring vehicle speeds and helping reduce dangerous driving in their own communities. There are nearly 2,500 CSW schemes across the UK, with over 17,000 volunteers giving their time to the organisation in an attempt to change driver behaviour in their local areas.

On ‘All Out Day’ you’ll see Community Speed Watch teams working shoulder-to-shoulder with Police officers from our Roads Policing and Neighbourhood Policing teams alongside representatives from Safer Roads Humber. In an attempt to send the message that speeding has no place in their local communities.

Chief Superintendent Marc Clothier is National Police Chiefs’ Council operational lead in the roads policing portfolio. He said: “We must all work together to improve the safety of our roads and Community Speedwatch is a great example of just how effective a partnership can be. Inappropriate speed kills and seriously injures thousands of people on our roads each year and we have to do everything we can to reduce those numbers.

“I’d like thank all of our dedicated Community Speedwatch volunteers across the UK, your support is invaluable.”

Dan Goodman, Humberside Police's Community Speed Watch lead said “Community Speed Watch gives local people a real voice in road safety. By officially recording speeding vehicles, volunteers help officers identify and subsequently target hotspot areas that attract the most dangerous driving. It’s not just about catching people, it’s about changing behaviour and preventing harm.”

“In rural areas, residents often feel there is not much they can do about persistent speeding in their neighbourhoods, Community Speed Watch empowers them to take meaningful action and partner with police to identify problem areas and help drive change.

How to get involved

It can take as little as an hour a month, your involvement makes a difference. The more visible the CSW team are the more likely they are to change driver behaviour.

If you are interested you can join a local Community Speed Watch group or create a new group in your area, to join us for future ‘All Out Days’ alongside many other days of action.

✅ – Can’t volunteer?

Our Op Snap initiative allows road users to submit dashcam footage of dangerous driving directly to us. If you've witnessed reckless behaviour behind the wheel, your video could help bring offenders to justice.

Let’s work together to make Humberside’s roads safer for everyone. Whether you choose to volunteer, submit footage, or simply help spread the word, your actions count.
