More speed cameras, community groups, and education Lincolnshire
Dozens of people lose their lives on Lincolnshire’s roads every single year, with local authorities pledging to continue exploring “every possible approach” to tackle the issue.
While 2022’s road death toll is lower than it has been since 2013, it still works out a just shy of one fatality a week on Lincolnshire’s roads – which must be addressed. In 2022, speed awareness re-education training was handed out to more than 25,000 people, while the LRSP is on course to complete more school road safety education sessions than ever before in the 2022/23 financial year.
The LRSP also says the introduction of a roads policing team to Lincolnshire Police has helped provide a targeted response to the issue, while the Community Speed Watch Scheme has seen 281 member groups monitoring speeding vehicles in Lincolnshire. During Lincolnshire Police’s anti-drink and drug driving campaign over the last Christmas period, over 200 arrests were made for these road traffic offences – up from 167 the previous year.
