Oxford Police Act To Enforce 20mph Speed Restrictions

Topic:
Police services in Oxford are only planning to adopt new measures to enforce 20mph speed limits on local roads despite the restrictions being introduced two years ago.
Whilst the introduction of the lower speed limits, which are intended to reduce road casualties, came into action a while ago, local police have failed to perform routine stops at the sites until now.
The police claimed their new approach would be more "proportionate and targeted" with the majority of those caught speeding issued warnings and advice at the roadside instead of facing prosecution.
This will reflect the nature of the offence, with the majority of speeders expected to exceed the limit by a fractional amount and therefore receive more lenient punishments.
Those caught flouting the speed restrictions in a more severe manner will face prosecution.
