| Officers
staffing the van say they have been surprised at the frequency
and severity of speeding on Loxley Road, and at other local
sites including the main Wisewood junction.
They
will continue to target the area during the peak morning and
evening rush hours.
Speeders
face an automatic £60 fine, plus three penalty points
on their driving licence. They can opt to be dealt with by
local magistrates, but this can result in an increased fine.
Members
of the Safety Camera Partnership include South Yorkshire Police,
Sheffield City Council, the Highways Agency, and the courts
service.
The partnership was set up following pilot schemes elsewhere
that dramatically cut road deaths and average speeds.
