Twenty-two people were issued infringements for speeding during a three-hour police operation at Yatala yesterday.
Non-traditional enforcement methods were employed along Stanmore Road to detect those breaking the law.
Four people were issued infringements for speeding at more than 40km/h over the sign-posted speed limit of 80km/h. The highest speed recorded was a motorcyclist travelling at 172km/h.
One learner driver, who was detected at 116km/h, also received infringements for driving unaccompanied and not displaying his L-plates.
Superintendent David Johnson said police continue to see high speeds detected on Queensland roads despite an increased police presence as part of Operation Cold Snap.
“In the first week of the operation, we have issued more than 3,100 infringements for speeding,” Superintendent Johnson said.
“This means more than 3,100 people have made a decision to put their own life and the lives of others at risk by speeding – and they are only the ones we have detected.”

On Friday, July 3, six-year-old Travis Heery, who is battling a terminal illness, was sworn into the Service as an honorary junior police officer for the day.
After getting his own QPS uniform, Travis was picked up from his home and driven to the Mounted Police Centre in Moggill
Little Travis has always wanted to be a police officer.
Unfortunately, in his final weeks of Prep, he was diagnosed with diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPG) which is an aggressive and incurable tumour that grows in the brainstem.
Showing his bravery and resilience, Travis has received 30 radiation treatments, which successfully gave him full motion back and for two blissful months, and he was able to be a normal six year old boy.

Travis’ mum, Kaye, said that sadly, the tumour has returned and has now entered a state of progression which will eventually take Travis’s ability to speak, eat and eventually breathe.
“He is courageous beyond

Investigations indicate that on June 18, at 1pm a man and woman attended a Beatty Road car yard.
Police will allege a short altercation occurred during which a 61-year-old man was assaulted and a series of shots were fired causing damage to nearby vehicles.
Investigations led police to execute a number of search warrants in northern New South Wales and successfully applied for the extradition of a 31-year-old Tanah Merah man and a 25-year-old Coomera woman.
