20 mph zones on Lordship Lane

"Nice" derail then.

Back onto the real topic, I'm curious myself about how residents could be helping with speed enforcement (though not enough to actually contact the safer neighbourhood team myself) - I didn't think handheld speed guns had built in cameras, but I suppose that might be a thing? Without photographic evidence along with the speed gun log, usually a statement from the PC would be used as evidence.

Anyone know what the tech is like currently?

When have I ever claimed cyclists are faultless and wonderful? I don't have a problem with motorists - I am one myself. I have a problem with motorists who dirve dangerously and speed in residential streets. I also have a problem with speeding motorists who think they are above the law and current limits should not be enforced.

Sounds like a SpeedWatch campaign. Other constabularies have done them. By the sounds of it the volunteers use hand held speed guns, there is a police officer supervising and only warnings are given to anyone stopped.
