Glossop SNT - Local Priorities 'Speeding Traffic Update'

Today's Community Speed Watch event was held on the A57 Sheffield Rd, Glossop - between 4 pm and 5 pm - The speed limit is 30 mph.

On this occasion a total 300 vehicles went by the team during the event today - with 10 of those vehicles being recorded as speeding above 35 Mph. - the highest being recorded at 44 mph.

You might believe a little bit of speeding is okay and shouldn’t be targeted by the police, or you might think that it is the most serious of crimes... but what’s the truth? 

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.

The SNT would like to show our thanks and appreciation to the 3 volunteers who gave up their free time today, to try and make our roads that bit safer and in helping to reduce speeding in their community.
