Road safety - speed checks

Service outline:

A speed limit is the maximum speed you can drive at, but you have to use your common sense as the speed limit isn't always the safe speed.

Driving too fast doesn't always mean going over the speed limit. It can mean driving at a speed that's not safe for the road conditions e.g. driving at 30mph along a busy school with lots of people around is way too fast.

Safety (speed) Cameras

Safety cameras are now a common sight on the regions roads. This section contains information about the cameras, why we need them on our roads and how to avoid a speeding ticket.
