Drivers are being urged to stick to the speed limits as Cambridgeshire police take to the roads for extra speed checks as part of a national campaign.
Officers will be doing extra speed checks next week as part of a countrywide campaign called TISPOL.
The checks will be made across Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire and is the second and last speed campaign of the year.
Insp Mark Rogers said: “I would urge anyone to drive within the lawful speed limits.
“However, I would like to point out that it is not always appropriate to drive at the speed limit depending on the road conditions.
“The limit is not a target”
Taking place between August 17 and 23 they will use marked and unmarked cars to catch those breaking the limit.
When the first TISPOL speed campaign took place in April, 39,231 vehicles were detected breaking the speed limit in the United Kingdom.
A police spokesman said that speeding was the most contributory factor to road deaths and serious injuries.
