Dozens of motorists have been stopped as part of an anti-speeding day of action by officers. Nottinghamshire Police responded to community concerns of speeding motorists by positioning themselves across Wollaton with speed guns.
Stopping drivers from speeding is a priority for the force in the city west area after public feedback indicated it as something officers need to manage. On Thursday, June 29, a number of officers placed themselves in areas where speeding has regularly been reported.
High-visibility speed checkpoints were set up on Lambourne Drive in a 20mph zone during rush hour and then later in a 30mph zone in Wollaton Vale to deter drivers from going too fast. A total of 24 vehicles were stopped, with six of these drivers receiving warning notices for going over the limit.
