Black Country's top five speeding hot spots revealed
The top five roads where motorists have been caught speeding in the Black Country have been revealed - with one road clocking up almost 1,000 offenders.
More than 2,500 motorists were stopped by police by mobile safety cameras on five locations in the Black Country.
They include one motorist caught speeding at 92mph on the northbound carriageway of the 40mph A4123 Birmingham New Road.
A total of 970 motorists caught were on the A456 Manor Way in Halesowen, which topped the list of cameras across the region which were activated the most.
Nick Foster, from Tipton, died in a crash on the route back in 2013.
Second on the list of most triggered mobile cameras was the A459 Halesowen Road in Old Hill - with 505 activations.
Third was Henwood Road northbound in Wolverhampton which was activated on 428 occasions, fourth the A4123 Birmingham New Road northbound with 387 and fifth The Droveway eastbound in Wolverhampton with 351.
Halesowen North Councillor Karen Shakespeare, who is the opposition group spokesman for environmental services on Dudley Council, said she was not surprised Manor Way topped the list.
She said: "The police always do seem to be there more than a lot of other places.
"I'm not surprised that Manor Way is at the top of the list and there are also issues with the speed limit, as it changes from 40mph to 50mph.
"At times I think it's not that clear for motorists to understand what exactly the speed limit is, so that might have something to do with it.
"People will always ignore the laws and ignore the road speed limits but they should obey them.
"Some of them just don't care anyway.
The list of the top five highest speeds caught on camera in 2015-16 is topped by the northbound A4123 Birmingham New Road with one driver tearing along at 92mph.
Second is the A4041 Queslett Road in Great Barr which someone was caught driving at 87mph on.
Coming in third was a driver clocked at 81mph on the A41 Black Country New Road in Wednesbury, in a 40mph stretch, while a driver was captured doing 78mph southbound on the same road near the Swan Roundabout in West Bromwich.
The top five is made up by a 78mph clocking on the southbound A4031 Trinity Way in West Bromwich.
Also revealed was the camera which was triggered the least number of times in the past year - this was on the northbound stretch of Bourne Street and Brook Street in Sedgley which was activated just 19 times.
