Roads in Rothley and Burbage highlighted for extra speed camera van visits

From this weekend speed enforcement will commence at the community concern sites.

Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Road Safety Partnership have released the list of 17 locations that have been added to the community concern register.

This means that these roads will have regular speed camera van visits over the next 18 months.

These roads have been selected after residents raised the issue of excessive speeding through their communities.

Jonathan Clarkson, LLRRSP 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. Make sure you drive at a safe speed at all times.”

• Liberty Road, Glenfield
