RESULTS FROM ATC'S 6TH TO 12TH OCTOBER
However you need to have a lot of patience a love of statistics and very good eyesight to make sense of them. so DPC has pulled together some of the facts and figures. Fortunately DPC were able to pay for four extra sites to be covered Bargate Lane, Coggeshall Road, Long Road West and Castle Hill. We all know from personal experience and figures provided by our Speed Watch team that Dedham has a significant issue with speeding. These figures make astonishing reading and back that up. we have chosen to look at the percentages of drivers travelling above the speed limit and include those travelling significantly above the limit i.e. over 40 mph in a 30mph zone.We have chosen this approach because it is a fact that you are statistically more likely to die as speed increases above 30 mph and that you are more likely to be killed on rural roads than urban ones.
