And they will go on to make regular visits to those two speeding hotspots – along with many others all over Leicestershire – over the next 18 months or so.

“Residents in many of our towns and villages feel their lives blighted by the anti-social effects of excessively speeding traffic through their communities,” said Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Road Safety Partnership (LLRRSP).

As a result detailed covert traffic speed surveys are carried out.

And if a particular location meets the organisation’s criteria it will then become a “community concern site” and it will be targeted by police speed camera van crews.

Jonathan Clarkson, Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Road Safety Partnership spokesperson, said: “The difference between a few miles per hour can be the difference between life and death.

“A speed limit is not a target.

“You should always drive at a speed suited to the weather conditions and type of road, but not in excess of the advised speed limit,” said Jonathan.

“Make sure you drive at a safe speed at all times.”
