Am I the only person who utterly despairs of the "Police Service" in Sheffield.
Only one week after some of the worst ever chaos on the roads, not one police motorcycle was sent out to try and organise the traffic, but judging by the number that are parked outside ther Niagra social club on Match nights, South Yorkshire police have numerous motorcycles...
In any other country this resource would have been used to try and clear the junctions so that traffic can move.
No the best that the police can do, is to set up a mobile speed camera on the uphill stretch of Chesterfield road, probably the first opportunity the frustrated motorists have to get out of first gear since leaving town, and ZAP that will be £60- please.
Now this would make sense if the camera was in position at 3.15 when the kids are walking home from school, but no, they wait until it is dark and they have a better chance of catching people who exceed 30mph, if they can't actually see the thing.
Don't bother trying to justify it on the grounds that you can more easily kill a pedestrian at speeds over 30 mph, instead, ask yourselves " what is the pedestrian doing in the path of moving traffic ? " nobody who puts themselves in the path of moving traffic derives any benefit from the situation, whatever speed the traffic is doing.
The police service need to remember that they are there to serve the public, not to fleece them, there are enough criminals on the streets already and they seem singularly disinterested in catching the real criminals.
