Beach Boulevard Enforcement – September
Tuesday, October 4th, 2011 at 7:28 am
During September the North East Safety Camera Partnership (NESCAMP) carried out 17 hours of speed detection on the Beach Boulevard, Aberdeen. Over the course of 11 visits 28 offences were detected.
Julie Smith, Communications Officer for NESCAMP commented ‘Beach Boulevard is an important site for speed enforcement as it has a tragic history of collisions, which includes a pedestrian being fatally injured there in April 2010.
During September we spent an increased amount of time on the Boulevard to remind people to watch their speed. It is disappointing that 28 motorists were detected however when you consider our most recent traffic survey showed, on average, just under 8000 vehicles travel on that road every day I believe the vast majority of motorists are observing the limits.
However I would still like to take this opportunity to remind people that the Beach Boulevard has a 30mph speed limit, albeit a part time limit of 20mph features in one section. The high pedestrian footfall of the area makes it extremely important for motorists to stay within the permitted limit.’
NESCAMPs highly visible enforcement vehicles can be situated in three locations along the stretch of the boulevard, with each location being suitable for both approaching and receding vehicle detection.
