Police say a number of motorists face prosecution after drivers were caught travelling at speeds of up to 115mph during targeted enforcement on the A629 bypass in Keighley.
Drivers have been caught travelling at speeds of up to 115mph during a targeted police operation on the A629 bypass in Keighley.
Officers from West Yorkshire Police's Operation Steerside carried out speed enforcement on the route on Sunday as part of proactive patrols across the Bradford district.
Police shared readings showing vehicles recorded at 90mph, 95mph and 115mph.
The force said Operation Steerside regularly carries out speed enforcement across the district, often in response to concerns raised by residents through neighbourhood policing meetings.
Police described the speeds detected during the A629 operation as significant and disappointing.
West Yorkshire Police said speeding is one of the Fatal Five offences linked to an increased risk of death or serious injury on the roads.
The enforcement work also forms part of the Bradford district's Vision Zero strategy, which aims to reduce deaths and serious injuries on the road network.
Police confirmed that a number of drivers now face prosecution as a result of the operation and said enforcement would continue on the A629 and at other locations across the district.
