Traffic Speed Checking a waste of time letter.

In The Leader letters page A R Fontes says that the speed checking on Marford Hill is a waste of time. I had a letter published last week defending the use of this tactic. I tend to back any education as some is better than nothing.

Whilst this may seem schizophrenic I actually agree with Mr Fontes.
This method is very inefficient. Drivers just warn each other and most carry on as before after the event.

At the end of the day there are only three ways of stopping the modern motorist from speeding.

Speeding points on license or the fear of and the inability through civil engineering solutions called traffic calming. Motorists including myself do not like platforms or bumps but nothing else stops the speeders in communities

Education will not work. A look at Chester Rd, Penyffordd rat run in the morning proves Mr Fontes' point.
