As Gail Bird and Anna Koor they began their monthly patrols for 2018, Ms Koor said the exercise was all about educating drivers, not punishing them. She said: ‘The limit on this road is 20mph.

‘We pass details on to city police of any drivers exceeding 25mph – they then get a letter about what we do.

‘This isn’t about telling people off, but keeping this busy road safe for everyone.’
