Traffic cops clock speeding drivers on local dual carriageway

DOZENS of drivers were clocked driving at well over the speed limit during a police operation last week.
Officers armed with speed guns were out on the A452 Collector Road during the morning rush hour.
A total of 42 vehicles were speeding on the busy dual carriageway, with reports of drivers exceeding the limit by as much as 60 per cent.
The West Midlands Police traffic team said the vehicles were breaking the law despite multiple serious and fatal collisions along the stretch of road.
The Collector Road is among the locations often mooted for the reintroduction of speed cameras and indeed was at one stage considered for inclusion in the pilot scheme launched a few years ago.
Ultimately a device was not installed, although a camera was placed on the nearby Chester Road, at Castle Bromwich.
