SPEEDING VEHICLE EVERY 64 SECONDS IN SCHOOL SAFETY ZONE

On Tuesday 3rd July, volunteers from our Community Speedwatch team were out on Ryleys Lane between 7.30-8.30am. They had one of their busiest sessions to date, recording 56 vehicles exceeding the speed threshold - that's one vehicle every 64 seconds (it is worth noting that although vehicles were only recorded if they were travelling over 30mph, this section of Ryleys Lane is within a School Safety Zone where the speed limit is supposed to be 20mph at this time of day).

- 33 vehicles were recorded travelling between 36-39mph
- 23 vehicles were recorded travelling in excess of 40mph
- 49mph was the highest recorded speed on this occasion
- the average speed of all recorded vehicles was 40mph
