Edinburgh police in crackdown pull driver over doing 69mph on busy 30mph route

A number of drivers were pulled over by police during a speeding crackdown on a busy 30mph route in Edinburgh.

One driver was caught going at 69mph as officers carried out speed enforcement on Gilmerton Station Road on Monday evening.

Others were caught at 63mph, 59mph and 50mph during the police clampdown.

Road Policing Scotland shared news of the activity on their social media, posting: "Dalkeith RP carried out speed enforcement last night on Gilmerton Station Road, Edinburgh, which is subject to a 30mph speed limit.

"Several drivers stopped and will be reported to the Procurator Fiscal for speeds including 50, 59, 63 and 69mph. #InTownSlowDown #NoExcuse."

Edinburgh Live reported last month how police had been conducting checks in Blackhall in Edinburgh, along with Gifford and Bolton in East Lothian, with dozens of drivers pulled over for speeding.

Drylaw Community and Response officers pulled over a host of drivers in Blackhall, warning six, charging two and issuing a further two with fixed penalty notices.
