Hampshire Police: Quarter 3 Road Safety Update (July–September 2025)
Hampshire Police have shared their verified Road Safety data for Quarter 3 (July–September 2025). We’re publishing this update for residents who follow local road safety issues or have expressed concerns about speeding in the Southampton area.
What the Police Prioritise
The force continues to focus on the four highest‑risk driving behaviours:
- Drink and drug driving
- Not wearing seatbelts
- Excessive speed
- Driving while distracted
These priorities guide both enforcement and education across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
How the Data Is Used
Hampshire Police produce quarterly reports to:
- Inform local policing teams
- Support partner agencies
- Share trends with residents who have shown an interest in road safety
This update is shared with you because you’ve indicated through Hants Alerts that you are interested or concerned about road safety and speeding.
Community Speedwatch
Community Speedwatch is an educational initiative run by local volunteers. It plays an important role in raising awareness and encouraging safer driving in neighbourhoods where speeding has become a concern.
Enforcement Activity
The report includes:
- Mobile Camera Enforcement figures from the dedicated Safer Roads policing team
- Fixed Penalty Notices issued by any officer on patrol who stops a motorist for an offence
Together, these figures provide a fuller picture of road safety enforcement across Southampton.
