As part of the week of action police said they carried out various vehicle speed checks daily on a number of roads across Eastbourne.
A Sussex Police spokesperson added: “Earlier this week we were at Friday Street (Monday) for checks with a very positive result in which no drivers were recorded in excess of the speed limit. Over yesterday and today (Friday) teams have been out and about conducting speed checks in King Edward’s Parade, Priory Road and Prince William Parade as part of Project EDWARD. In total, over the course of our checks, over 15 drivers were recorded exceeding the limit, with the highest being 48mph in a 30mph zone.”
