Police have been targeting motorists at two speeding hotspots in Carlton and Colwick.
The Gedling South team headed out last week to Southdale Road in Carlton and Vale Road in Colwick village following reports from residents that drivers have been speeding and putting lives at risk.
Officers first parking up on Southdale Road in the 20mph zone with their speed gun and ended up stopping five drivers to remind them of the speeding limit. Even with signs every 300 metres, each of the drivers replied 30mph.
The speed limit changed over a year ago.
The motorists were all given advice from police officers and reminded to stick to the limit.
The neighbourhood policing team then headed over to Vale Road and parked up outside St John School – but no motorists were caught speeding.
A spokesman for Gedling Neighbourhood Policing Team said: “Speeding anywhere can lead to devastating consequences but please always be extra cautious around schools.
“If speeding is an issue in your area, speak to us about which areas you want to see us at next.”
They added: “Speeding kills so please always stick to the speed limits.”
They want to try Arnold Lane in the extended 30 mph zone (2 years) – they’d make a fortune
I don’t know how anybody speeds on Southdale Road as the pots holes are so bad it would wreck any car that went speeding over them!
I have to agree with Tony Rogers’s comment about Arnold Lane.
Plains Road Mapperley, especially near the bend just past Chartwell Heights and Plains Farm Close is a serious accident waiting to happen.
Colliery Way on a Sunday morning is like a Gran Prix circuit by middle age men in fast cars that actually should know better?!
