Road Traffic Surveys – September 2025
Community Speed Watch
Volunteers are now required to help with Community Speed Watch in Ringsfield and Weston. If you would like further details or wish to volunteer, then please contact the clerk at clerk@ringsfieldandweston-pc.gov.uk
Suffolk Police are committed to achieving casualty reduction targets and reducing the number of people killed and seriously injured on our roads. The Police aim to provide the right level of reassurance and enforcement checks in every community that wants them on a regular basis. However, Officers cannot carry out speed enforcement checks in every community that would like to request one.
The Community Speed watch programme empowers communities to play an active role alongside the Safety Camera Partnership in tackling the problems of speeding in their neighbourhood.
As part of the Community Speed watch programme, trained volunteers verify and record the registration number of vehicles seen to breaking the speed limit.
These details are forwarded to the Safety Camera Partnership within 48 hours. A “warning letter” is then sent to the register owner of the vehicle, requesting them to keep their speed down. If the vehicle is seen and recorded again a second and final letter will be sent. Persistent offenders may be targeted further.
Vehicle Activated Sign (VAS) Data
Ringsfield and Weston Parish Council operate a Vehicle Activated Sign that helps monitor volume and vehicle speeds on certain roads. The VAS equipment is shared with Ilketshall-St-Andrew. Below is the data from Church Road, Cromwell Road and School Road.
