Forres

I fully support a 20mph speed limit on certain roads but this means nothing without effective enforcement. On St Leonards Road as well as other parts of Forres, we regularly witness drivers speeding. We called the police, the sent one patrol car to drive along the road and then they left. We raised our concerns to the Council, they installed a filter lane and all that has done as created a pinch point where drivers slow down then speed up. Or, if the road ahead is clear, they speed up to get through. If we commit to the cost of changing the speed limits, we must also factor in the cost and capacity to effectively enforce those limits. As it stands Police Scotland appear to have a lacklustre approach to the issue.
