For two weeks, the speed trailer was positioned in two locations along Church Street, and will be used at various locations throughout the city.

“While the majority of drivers adhere to responsible speed limits, the report highlights the presence of a few drivers who exceed dangerous speed thresholds beyond the established limits,” said Martinsville Police in a press release. “This invaluable information serves the crucial purpose of aiding the police department in pinpointing areas necessitating heightened traffic enforcement measures.”
