The latest results for the Police mobile speed cameras have been published.

Last week saw 34 drivers stopped on the A1237 near Monks Cross.

Next highest number was 19 on Tadcaster Road in the space of half an hour one Saturday evening. Other high numbers were detected at Beckfield Lane (15), Strensall Road Huntington (11) and Stockton on Forest (10)

The monthly figures reveal that the above roads – together with York Road in Haxby – are those where drivers in York are most likely to be caught speeding.

The numbers caught speeding in York are relatively small compared to other sites in the County.

85 speeders were caught in one 4 hour period at North Stainley while 95 triggered the cameras at Calcutt over just 30 minutes.

66 offenders were logged on the A64 westbound by pass near Tadcaster in 3 hours one tea time.

York is affirming its position as one of the safest cycling cities in the UK with plans to introduce a major new cycle route in the north of the city.

Proposed cycle path. Click to enlarge

Supported by North Yorkshire Police and the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, the scheme proposes to introduce a safe off-road shared cycle and pedestrian route along the A1237 outer ring road, between the Haxby Road roundabout and the B1363 Wigginton Road roundabout, connecting over 15,000 people living in this area of York.

The proposed measures also include new crossing links with Haxby Road on both sides of the roundabout, a new bridge over the York to Scarborough railway line with approach ramps on the existing embankments and an additional crossing point on Wigginton Road to safely connect with Clifton Moor.

The provision of an off-road route/safe link opens up access (sustainably, via cycling and/or walking) between Haxby, Strensall, Huntington, Earswick, New Earswick and to the retail, leisure and employment destination of Clifton Moor as well as students attending Joseph Rowntree School.

The new cycle route has been made possible by £4.6 million of government funding.

Residents can find out more about the proposed new cycle route by visiting www.york.gov.uk/haxbytocliftonmoor to view the proposals and to complete a short survey regarding the scheme. The council is particularly keen to obtain the views of any potential users of the route. All responses should be returned by Friday 17 May.
