A Southwark Cyclist volunteer will be standing beside the road with a speed gun and a PCSO in full uniform beside him. Both of them have to wear hi-vis (because rules). Still drivers don't spot them. Just bear that in mind when you are wondering if a driver has seen you or not. To join […]
Don't think we're picking on Salter Road or anything. It's just that our cycling volunteers specially object to speeding around here. The man with the gun for this second outing of the day on Salter Road will be Werner who runs some of our Saturday rides about Victorian engineers. This is always a popular spot […]
Organised by the Met, this is a partnership between the police and the community. Representing the police we have PCSO Kevin Phillips, new father and Welshman, loves his volunteers and hates speeders. Representing the community, a Southwark Cyclist volunteer holding the speed gun. Not just us I should explain: councillors, concerned residents and a cross-section […]
Southwark Cyclists' volunteer Werner will be wielding the speedgun on Salter Road in SE1. Numbers on the road have risen as people have been frightened off the buses and tubes and aggro has increased at the same time. Drivers, like all of us, have personal fears and interrupted private lives. Neither makes them safer. You […]
Southwark Cyclists' volunteer Sally Eva will be wielding the speedgun and PCSO Kevin Phillips will be taking the numbers of offending vehicles.

TfL and the Met are studying the Speedwatch stats and trying to make patterns with them. So this Speedwatch will be in a location only previously done at the weekend. At the weekend it catches loads of drivers, particularly cabbies. The aim is to see whether it is better or worse when the tradesmens' vans […]
A Southwark Cyclist volunteer will be helping the police with their enquiries in Long Lane. Specifically their enquiries into who's driving too fast and not spotting the guys in yellow fluorescent holding a speed gun. Answer: a surprisingly large number. The volunteer holds the gun, clocks the speeds and shouts them out. PCSO Kevin Phillips […]
A Southwark Cyclist volunteer will be pointing a speed gun at hurriedly braking drivers on Salter Road. With her will be PCSO Kevin Phillips writing down number plates, make and colour of those who didn't stamp on the brakes hard enough. Getting noted down for the first time gets you a letter from TfL pointing […]
