You redefined your request to the below:
Would it be possible for the Met to provide information on the questions you

DECISION
I have today decided to disclose the located information to you in full.
1) The number of speeding offences recorded by your force over the past
five years, broken down by year (i.e. 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015);
Please see spreadsheet attached below.
2) How much (£) the force fined motorists for speeding offences in 2015; Information not known regarding monies received as many cases are still
progressing through the system. We would also not be aware of the disposals for
those cases that have been referred through the courts process.
3) The amount (£) of force funding allocated to policing roads in every year
since 2011, broken down by year (i.e. 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015)
4) The amount (£) of force funding allocated to policing roads in 2016
Up to December 2014, responsibility for roads policing in the MPS was split
between Traffic Operational Command Unit (OCU) and Safer Transport
Command (STC), the latter being jointly funded by the MPS and Transport for
London (TfL) through a special services agreement (SSA) under the provisions of
Section 25 of the Police Act, 1996.
In 2014/15, the funding arrangement under the SSA shifted to include the MPS
provision for Traffic policing, as this area of operation was merged with the STC
to form the Roads and Transport Policing Command (RTPC).
The amount of MPS funding in £m allocated to policing roads is shown by
financial year in the table below.
6) The three roads on which the force recorded the largest number of
speeding offences in their area in 2015, and the number of speeding
offences recorded on each of these roads;
7) The number of people who broke the speed limit in a 20mph zone,
30mph zone, 40mph zone, 50mph zone, 60mph zone, dual-carriageway and
on a motorway over the past five years, broken down by year (i.e. 2011,
2012, 2013, 2014, 2015);
8) The highest speeds recorded in a 20mph zone, 30mph zone, 40mph
zone, 50mph zone, 60mph zone, dual-carriageway and on a motorway over
the past five years, broken down by year (i.e. 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015);
