COMMUNITY SPEEDWATCH - BROOK LANE

On Thursday 30th May I joined local residents and volunteers from our Community Speedwatch group on Brook Lane. This was a particularly busy session, as we recorded 47 vehicles in total exceeding the speed threshold. The results in full were as follows:

- 34 vehicles speeding, but under 40 mph

- 12 vehicles travelling over 40 mph but under 50 mph

- 1 vehicle travelling in excess of 50 mph

The highest recorded speed on this occasion was 53 mph, whilst the average speed of all recorded vehicles was 38.7 mph (the speed limit on this section is 30 mph). The results are clearly disappointing, especially as most of the vehicles were travelling towards a School Safety Zone at the time they were recorded.
