Our speeding operations in and around Stainforth and Barnby Dun have continued this week.

During Monday afternoon officers attended Top Road in Barnby Dun – A number of vehicles were monitored, 4 drivers were stopped and advised in relation to their driving and speed.

On Tuesday afternoon officers from your Doncaster East neighbourhood policing team attended Church road in Stainforth, 174 vehicles were monitored. Three drivers who were traveling over the limit will be referred to the speed camera partnership for further action.

All the feedback from local residents has been positive, these speeding operations are undertaken for three key reasons:

Public Safety: Speeding is a leading cause of traffic accidents, injuries, and fatalities. By enforcing speed limits, we aim to reduce the likelihood of accidents and protect public safety on the roads.

Deterrence: Visible enforcement of speed limits acts as a deterrent, discouraging drivers from exceeding speed limits in the first place. The presence of Police officers conducting speed checks reminds drivers to adhere to traffic regulations.

Community Concerns: We are aware that speeding is a concern raised by communities and residents, especially in areas where speeding poses a particular risk, such as such as the three locations above. We have responded to these concerns by conducting targeted speeding operations.

We are aware of other locations that have been mentioned by concerned residents, please reply to this message to make us aware of a location that is of concern to you.
