Local Priorities Road Safety - Speeding in Whitwick

I wanted to provide you with an update regarding Road Safety - Speeding in the Community, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey.

🚔 Bardon Beat Update | Speed Checks in Whitwick & Thringstone 🚔
Today, officers carried out speed checks in and around Whitwick and Thringstone following concerns raised by local residents.
We're pleased to report that the vast majority of drivers were complying with the 30mph speed limit and driving responsibly. Thank you to everyone doing their part to keep our roads safe. 👍
However, one driver was recorded travelling at 38mph in a 30mph zone. As this speed is well above the limit and increases the risk of serious injury in the event of a collision, a Traffic Offence Report ticket was issued.
Speed limits are there for a reason, particularly in residential areas where pedestrians, cyclists and other vulnerable road users may be present.
We will continue to carry out speed enforcement across the Bardon Beat area to help improve road safety and address concerns from our communities.
