The latest announcements come as Safer Roads Humber launches Brake Road Safety Week, to raise awareness of the dangers of speeding. It is staging more than 30 events and hopes to reach an estimated 5,000 people, including many schoolchildren and young people.
Ian Robertson, partnership manager for Safer Roads Humber said: “Safer Roads Humber has supported Brake Road Safety Week for 10 years, and it seems like this year’s event is going to be one of our biggest. The partnership undertakes a wide range of work and to have over 5,000 people receiving a road safety input during the week is fantastic.
“Our aim is to reduce the number of people killed and injured on our roads and one of the main ways of doing that is by educating the public about the need to respect all road users, to keep each other safe.”
Meanwhile, Safer Roads Humber has also recently funded 11 “Prolaser 4” speed detection devices, which have been distributed to Neighbourhood Policing Teams to enable them to respond to residents’ concerns about speeding, with the aim of those detected being offered a speed awareness course where possible. Over the past year SRH has trained more than 430 officers in the use of the equipment with the aim of reducing casualties.
Humberside Police, in partnership with Safer Roads Humber, will be at several other sites throughout the week that are not listed above. Humberside Police reserves the right to enforce speed limits on any road, at any time. Read the latest traffic and travel news from Grimsby Live.
