You said, we did: Speed monitoring - Ulverston
Following complaints from residents of possible speeding on Priory Road within the 30mph and 40 mph limits.
We put our speed indicator device out and monitored speeds in both directions.
In the time the indicator was placed over 90,000 vehicles travelled along the road. Speeds within the 40mph zone were within acceptable limits.
There was a small number of motorists who exceeded the 30mph limit so this area will be targeted through community speed watch and random enforcement action.
