Speed enforcement in 27 vehicles speeding in a single day on The Avenue in Wilton.

The road, which has a clearly displayed speed limit of 30mph, saw one motorist clocked at 45mph, 1.5 times the speed limit!

The stats were posted on the Facebook page of Cllr Pauline Church, Wiltshire Councillor for Wilton, with one commenter saying they were surprised 45mph was the highest recorded speed, saying people drive down the road at “crazy” speeds.

The drivers were penalised depending on their previous history, with 24 of the drivers offered a speed awareness course, while three will receive a Fixed Penalty Notice and 3 points on their license.

The speeding checks were carried out on 18th July, with sunny and overcast weather conditions.
