Major routes across Gloucestershire will be under the watchful eyes of mobile speed cameras over the next week.
Officers will be monitoring the A40 Golden Valley where there has been a number of crashes over the past few months.
Police will also be keeping an eye on the B4008 Bristol Road, Olympus Park, Quedgeley – another collision hotspot.

The expectation is that each of the following priority locations will be visited at least once per week during the month of November:
- Whelford Road, Fairford – 30mph
- Beachley Road, Sedbury – 20mph
- A40 Golden Valley (through the roadworks) – 40 mph
- Bath Road, Eastington – 30mph
- B4008 Bristol Road, Olympus Park, Quedgeley – 30 mph
- New Barn Lane, Prestbury – 30mph
The Mobile Camera Enforcement Unit said the presence of a speed camera will encourage drivers to change their behaviour and drive at a lower, safer speed.
It adds: “Throughout the pandemic lock-down and the subsequent return towards normal traffic flows the Camera Enforcement Team (CET) have been visiting as many of the sites as possible to act as a reminder to drivers about their behaviour and to enforce against those who have been driving at excessive speeds or committing other offences.”
