Derbyshire police have today unveiled plans to crack down hard on speeding drivers.

Officers will focus on catching speeders on 110 routes where people face a higher risk of being killed or hurt as a result of motorists travelling too fast.

The new speeding action plan has been drawn up following a detailed review of Derbyshire casualty figures and speed data.

Motorists have been warned they can expect to find police speed enforcement officers in many new locations around the county.

Chief Inspector Tracy Lewis, head of roads policing in Derbyshire, said: "Our goal is to keep people safe. That's why we're so keen to publicise these higher risk routes where we'll be focusing our efforts.

"We want to discourage people from speeding rather than catch them as the fear of speeding traffic is blighting so many of our communities who look to us for help."

Chief Inspector Lewis added: "We also want to remind people that a small increase in speed makes a big difference to the amount of harm you will cause if you hit someone. The risk of death is approximately four times higher when a pedestrian is hit at 40mph rather than at 30mph.'

In order to detect speeding, the police use:

• in-car computers

• hand-held laser guns

• cameras fitted to liveried vans and motorcycles

• cameras in yellow roadside boxes

The police also help communities take action against speeding through their Community Speed Watch scheme. Through the scheme, volunteers are trained to monitor speed in their area using hand-held laser guns. Drivers found to be travelling above the limit then receive a letter from the police reminding them about the dangers of travelling too fast.
