Request

May I have the percentage of vehicles travelling in excess of a)15mph and b)30mph along Vallee des Vaux, St Helier using the latest speed check data (with dates)?

Can you also give me the number of road traffic accidents along this green lane in the last two years?

Response

The States of Jersey Police do not hold the information indicating the percentage of vehicles travelling above the speed limit.

To calculate a percentage would require the total number of vehicles travelling along that particular road for the years in question.

Below is the number of incidents of speeding vehicles reported by police, including the reported speed and the number of accidents reported from 2004.
