Police community support officers from Newport's Safer Neighbourhood Team monitored roads in the town with speed guns, and in one day 28 drivers were sent tickets because of their excess speed.
Some of the roads that the officers observed included Wellington Road and Boughey Road. They also visited the nearby hamlet of Pave Lane.
The monitoring comes as the police team hopes to expand its community speedwatch scheme, which sees volunteers trained to use speed guns in areas where concerns have been raised.
