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

The A666 at St Peter's Way runs from the M60 ring road into the centre of the town.

It is subject to a 50mph speed limit which is monitored by average speed cameras.

The devices capture the speed at which a vehicle goes between two set spots on the route.

And a number of people have recently been found to have driven too fast in the area.
