This enforcement activity occurred between 4am and 7am and ACT Policing is reminding drivers that just because there is less traffic doesn’t mean the posted limits don’t apply. Just a few kilometres over the posted limit at any time greatly increases the chances of a collision.  Â
ACT Policing will continue to target speeding drivers at all hours of the day and night in an effort to make ACT roads safer for all road users.
Anyone with information regarding excessive speeding is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website. Information can be provided anonymously.
