40mph limit reducing collisions, Police say

Police say the newly enforced 40mph speed limit is reducing the number of collisions on Manx roads.

In a post on social media, officers say  at this time of year they usually receive reports of around one or two crashes a day.

However, since the all-Island speed limit has been implemented, officers have now only had reports of two collisions, and no one has been injured.  

The temporary speed limit has now been in place for eleven days as one of the measures to ease demand of the Island's emergency services.
