Road safety officers at Lincolnshire Police have announced a major clampdown on speeding to take place from next week.
It's after 21 people died on Lincolnshire's roads since January 1 - compared with just nine at the same time in 2015.
Officers say operations will take place in the west of the county. They said it was about "education, and not to try and catch people out".
Quote MessageWe’ve had an unprecedented amount of accidents that have tragically resulted in loss of life so far this year and we are doing our utmost to try and stop that number from rising.

Harry Parkins is a former Bomber Command flight engineer who flew 39 operations during the Second World War.
He says vandals who broke into site of the International Bomber Command Memorial near Lincoln are "mindless".
Mr Parkins, who lives near Lincoln, says those responsible for the damage at the site should be made to pay to put it right.
He told me: "I think it was a disgraceful act and a lack of respect to the people who lost their lives."

Ahead of tomorrow's crunch fixture at Stalybridge, Boston United manager Dennis Greene says he won't be constantly checking how his play-off rivals are getting on.
The Pilgrims, Nuneaton and Harrogate Town are fighting over two spots in the play-offs, but Greene has told BBC Radio Lincolnshire he doesn't see the point of checking too much.
He said: "We'll check the scores at half time. We just have to get ourselves in a winning position and get the result. It doesn't matter about the other scores."
Here's one of the pallets of smuggled cigarettes which were seized at Immingham Docks last night.
The UK Border Force says if the smuggling attempts had proved successful it could have cost the Treasury approximately £2.5m in unpaid duty and VAT.

The seizure happened yesterday evening when officers searched an unaccompanied trailer that had arrived at the port on a ferry from Vlaardingen in the Netherlands.

The future of two fire stations in Immingham could be decided in just over a week.
Humberside Fire and Rescue is thinking of merging the town's two fire stations to save money.

Lincoln City manager Chris Moyses says midfielder Kegan Everington turned down the chance to go out on loan earlier this season.
Everington has only made two appearances in 2016 for the club and Moyses has told BBC Radio Lincolnshire he feels a loan move would have been beneficial.
Moyses said: "He's a great lad, he's had a good season training-wise but he didn't really want to go out on loan... So that maybe held him back a touch.
"All the players who have gone on loan have come back better for it, but that was Kegan's choice."
A few bright or sunny spells are likely this afternoon, but clouding over for a time with some heavy rain or wintry showers with a risk of hail.
Turning drier and brighter later with the strong westerly winds easing and a top temperature of about 8C (46F).
More on the news that Saltfleetby Primary School is to close in the summer due to falling pupil numbers.
Lincolnshire County Council has argued it doesn't make financial sense to keep it open.
With capacity for 56 pupils, it has only 16 children across seven year groups - and that number's projected by the authority to fall even further.
Image source, Chris/GeographThe council says it's considered federation and academy options, but no solution could be found.
Some parents have campaigned to keep the school and say small, rural schools should be protected.

I've just been talking to Lincolnshire County Council about tiny Saltfleetby Primary School.
Education chiefs have decided to close the school in the summer, despite a campaign to save it which has been staged by local people.
I'll be talking to Patricia Bradwell, who's in charge of education and schools on the county council, on BBC Radio Lincolnshire after 17:00.
