Drivers in Glasgow are being urged to reduce their speed as the Go Safe Glasgow partnership launched its year long 'Make Glasgow Smile' speeding enforcement campaign on the 22 of February 2012.

Despite the awareness of the dangers of speeding it continues to be an issue in the city and is something both the council and councillors regularly receive complaints about from the public.

Central to the campaign, Strathclyde Police's Divisional Road Policing Units, one of the Go Safe Glasgow partners, will be undertaking regular monthly enforcement days at known speeding hotspots, throughout the year.

As part of the campaign the Council has also installed 61 'smiley signs' around the city that display your speed as you approach the sign. The face below your speed indicates a happy or sad face depending on the speed registered and if it within the speed limit of the area.

The signs are moveable and will be relocated at different sites around the city as the campaign progresses. It is hoped that the presence of the signs will encourage drivers to think about their speed and not exceed the speed limit for the area.
