Speed enforcement activity

Road safety concerns, in particular speeding, are consistently raised by our local communities.

 

The month of July saw Operation Spotlight, a national campaign where road safety operations are used to raise awareness of the ‘fatal four’ four’ - speeding, mobile phone use, impaired driving, and seatbelt non-compliance. This also highlights all the good work undertaken by officers in working towards reducing incidents and raising public awareness.

    A Trucam was utilised at a majority of these locations and any offenders caught will receive penalties through the post in due course, these could be in the form of points, fines, an awareness course or even a summons to court. 2 tickets were issued at the time to drivers on Elson Roads, Ellesmere and Welsh Frankton.

     

    Speeding can have a devastating impact on the safety of road users, increasing the risk of a collision and the severity of the consequences. Enforcing the speed limit is a 24/7 activity for us so don’t risk it.
