We'd struggle to enforce 20 speed limit, say police

POLICE have said they would struggle to enforce the law if there was a widespread reduction in speed limits.

The comment comes after an Environment Department-led working group, which included a police inspector, suggested Guernsey should adopt a 20mph 'island limit', down from the current 35mph.

'Should there be a widespread reduction of speed limits, there would be an issue about being able to police these effectively with existing resources,' a police spokesman said.

But the force also reassured islanders that it takes enforcement of traffic laws very seriously.
