The organisers of a Lichfield speedwatch initiative say they are not out to catch drivers.
The Beacon Street Area Residents’ Association (BSARA) has introduced the monitoring of traffic on local roads.
The speed checks will coincide with roadworks on the A51 which are expected to see more traffic using Beacon Street and surrounding streets.
But the group insisted they are not designed to catch out motorists.
In a post on their website, the group said: “We all want safer roads and BSARA’s contribution is to raise driver awareness by conducting speedwatch monitoring exercises on our patch.
“The majority of motorists behave responsibly – speedwatch is aimed at the minority who do not.
“Our aim is to change driver behaviour, not to catch people.
“We put out warning signs, wear high visibility jackets and even advertise our presence, in advance.”
