Mobile Speed Detection

Today, PCSO Jane Starkey has been out in Newton Poppleford and Sidford using educational mobile speed detection equipment in response to concerns raised by local residents about vehicle speeds through the villages.

The equipment displays drivers' speeds in real time, helping to encourage motorists to check their speed and slow down where necessary. These deployments are aimed at improving road safety, particularly in areas used by pedestrians, cyclists, families and school children.

Thank you to the many drivers who were travelling within the speed limit. For those who were not, the reminder is simple: please slow down and help keep our communities safe.

Road safety is everyone's responsibility, and even small reductions in speed can make a significant difference.
