Local Priorities Speeding Traffic Update - Community Speed Watch Event in Tintwistle

Glossop SNT - Communnity Speed Watch Event in Tintwistle today

PCSO Buller and 2 volunteers from the Hadfield Community Speed Watch team completed an event on the A628 Manchester Rd, Tintwistle this afternoon, Saturday 7th March - between 2.50 pm and 3.50 pm.

The speed limit on this road is 30 mph. During the event the today the number of vehicles who went by the team was 1058 of those 9 were recorded driving above 35 mph. with highest being 43 mph.

This location had been identified by local councillors and the residents of Tintwistle and is one of the Policing priorities they have chosen for this area.

Speeding might be an issue that you don’t consider serious, however it is one of the fatal four. The fatal four are the four offences which contribute to serious collisions. 

The other fatal four offences are drink or drug driving, using a mobile device whilst driving or not wearing a seat belt.

If you think we should be concentrating on other areas of crime and not speeding, please fill in our Derbyshire Talking survey so we can find more ways to support you. (see below)
