The police revealed they have begun sending motorcycle officers with speed detection equipment into residential areas in a bid to improve road safety.
The Safer Roads initiative has been designed to reach narrow streets and rural lanes that ordinary speed camera vans cannot access, which have been flagged as key hotspots for speeding offences.

About time too! Although doing more than 60mph on many of my county's (Northants) neglected narrow rural lanes would be mechanically risky as well as being arguably suicidal.

I'm in Northants but I think the other side of town to you. It's 60 between our village and the next in either direction. Both routes have dangerous bends.
The ones going out towards the A4500/M1, known as Knitters Bend, has cars off the road with monotonous regularity. There are steps afoot to reduce it to 40 but of course the type who come off at the bends won't take any notice.
