Macedon Ranges police are warning drivers to be mindful and drive to the conditions.
Lieutenant senior constable Marianne Voswinkel, who is stationed at the Riddells Creek Police Station has issued over 50 traffic infringement notices since she commenced her duties there in April.
Police said most of these were for speeds of more than 15km/h over the posted speed limit.
Last week, Lieutenant senior constable Voswinkel detected a driver travelling 139km/h on Riddell Road. This person received a $763 penalty and a six-month suspension of their driver’s licence.
Lieutenant senior constable Voswinkel is urging drivers to be cautious on Macedon Ranges roads, especially during the winter months when the roads are often wet and icy. She is also urging drivers to be mindful of wildlife, with the prolonged dry spell bringing wildlife closer to roads.
