Motorist caught driving at double the limit near primary school during Lancaster police operation

A motorist was caught driving at twice the speed limit near to a primary school during a police operation on a street in Lancaster.

The Community Roadwatch speed enforcement exercise was conducted on Newlands Road on Wednesday afternoon (October 14).

The driver of one vehicle in particular was driving at over double the speed limit, while officers captured 24 vehicles exceeding the speed limit in a one hour period, all of which were travelling 6mph and above the legal limit. 

PC Simon Jones from Lancaster Area Police said: ‘’Thank you to all the drivers who were driving within the safe speed limit for the road.

‘’May I remind those drivers who were not adhering to the speed limits that there are two local primary schools within a stone's throw of our speed enforcement location.

‘’One of those school's is Lancaster's largest primary school.  Driving at excess speed in this location or any other area is extremely dangerous.

‘’We will continue to conduct this activity to keep members of the public and local residents safe.’’
