Driver spotted at 111mph on village speed monitors

Amanda Steeles says the number of speeding motorists through Ulceby is a concern

A driver has been seen speeding at 111mph through a village in North Lincolnshire as part of a crackdown by a local road safety group.

The Ulceby Road Safety Group has been monitoring motorists and claims 70% of people using Brocklesby Road last month were above the 30mph limit.

The data was passed to police but the interactive road sign which recorded the speed does not detect vehicle registration numbers.

Humberside Police said it "understands residents' frustrations" and is working to reduce the number of speeding vehicles in the area.

Stuart Smith has lived in the village all of his life and said it was an "accident waiting to happen"

The Ulceby Road Safety Group said, during the monitoring, a quarter of drivers were found to be doing double the speed limit or more.

Stuart Smith from the group, who has lived in the village all of his life, said it was an "accident waiting to happen".

He said: "Lives are being put at risk because of speeding drivers and the amount of traffic that comes through the village.

"We have residential areas, the kids play out along here, they come out on their bikes and so it is very concerning and parents are asking us what more can be done."

Villagers said 60% of drivers using Brocklesby Road exceeded the 30mph speed limit last month

Two interactive speed signs in the village record the number of vehicles, the speed at which they are travelling and the time.

A Community Speed Watch group also uses speed guns alongside officials from Safer Roads Humber to monitor motorists.

Amanda Steeles regularly walks her dog Dotty through the village and told the BBC she felt it was a "lack of respect" from drivers.

She said: "You only need a deer, a dog or even a child to run out. Some drivers are really bad and I’ve seen people jump when the cars are going fast and loud as they pass them.

"I just think they need to slow down. What if a car was coming the other way and they hit it? The carnage would be shocking."

Humberside Police told the BBC it would "encourage" people to continue to raise concerns and wants to make the area "as safe as possible for road users and residents".

A statement added: "We understand residents’ frustrations in relation to speeding motor vehicles in Ulceby and want to help reduce the number of speeding vehicles in our area."
