A number of people have been penalised for breaking the speed limit on a major road into Bolton.

St Peters Way on the A666 is subject to a 50mph speed limit.

The road is monitored by average speed cameras.

They capture the speed a vehicle has travelled between two given spots on the road.

The reduction in speed is clearly marked.

But in recent months a number of people have been in court for breaking the limit.

Lunar Graves drove between Bradford Street and Raikes Lane at 57mph in September last year.

She had been driving a Citroen southbound at the time of the offence.

The case against the 27-year-old was proved at Manchester Magistrates' Court.

Graves, of Cairo Street, Warrington, was fined £220 and given three points on her licence.
