In a span of six hours, Waterloo Regional Police say they busted three drivers in the same area travelling 50 km/h above the posted speed limit.
Police say the traffic unit was conducting a speed enforcement operation near Water Street South and Myers Road overnight Saturday into Sunday from 8:30 p.m. until 2:30 a.m. when they incidents occurred.
They say two of the drivers were travelling 110 km/h while a third was travelling 111 km/h in a posted 60 km/h zone.
Police say that seven other drivers were also allegedly caught speeding in the area during the enforcement.
One of the force’s new Traffic Services Special Enforcement Teams was behind the speed trap.
Their creation was announced in early February with a focus on what they call ‘the fatal four’ — impaired driving, distracted driving, speeding/aggressive driving and seatbelt use.
