The alleged infringements were detected in a period of 90 minutes. "Two drivers were detected in excess of 90km/h in the reduced 60km/h zone - the highest speed being 92km/h," Sgt McCulloch said. “This is a disappointing result having regard to the recent road safety campaign linked to roadworks sites,” he said.
“Not only is this behaviour potentially dangerous to the roadworks and other road users, it often causes damage to the roadworks and extends work periods in those areas. Motorists are reminded to always obey speed limits in roadworks sites – it’s for their safety and the safety of road workers,” Sgt McCulloch said.
