Hotham Road North speed cameras

John Fareham and John Abbott report that the Police have now made arrangements for speed camera tests on Hotham Road North.

Regular readers may perhaps recall that we announced some time ago that the Police were trying to get their hands on the necessary equipment to carry out speed checks in response to local residents’ concerns about the speeds some drivers were doing on Hotham Road North. We know when the tests will be carried out, but we would prefer not to quote those details so that the tests can come as a surprise to those using Hotham Road North as a rat run or an ill-advised location in which to drive flat out. Neither of us would consider this street long enough to accelerate to an illegal or excessive speed and negotiate the junction at one end or the roundabout at the other.  We therefore hope that the Police turning up with speed cameras will go some way towards easing residents’ concerns about speeding round here.
