A speed-check by officers on the coast saw 30 people caught breaking the limit - including one doing almost double.
On the evening of Saturday, February 13 the Road Casualty Reduction Team oversaw a patrol on the A47 near the James Paget University Hospital in Gorleston.
To finish the shift today #RCRT carried out a speed check on #A47 near #JPH hospital. 30 speeders dealt with, 1 with no MOT as well. Highest speed was a depressing 73mph in the 40 limit. #TOR#RoadSafety #1429/142/1504/845 pic.twitter.com/HTH90f2RNI Norfolk & Suffolk Roads and Armed Policing Team (@NSRAPT) February 13, 2021
The number of patients in critical care beds in Norfolk hospitals has hit record levels for the third week in a row, despite the number of Covid patients falling.

Two crashes on the same stretch of road in Norfolk left a driver in hospital after their car rolled over on to its side.
Police were called to the A143 Yarmouth Road at Toft Monks, near Haddiscoe at just after 6.15am on Thursday, February 11.
The car had rolled on its side and crashed into a hedge close to Glebeland Primary School.
A passing ambulance took the driver to the James Paget University Hospital at Gorleston as a precaution, although they were not injured.
Norfolk police said the car would be recovered in due course.
The trust spokesman added that patients will receive the soonest possible appointments.
There is no major concern over jabs being wasted as the current supply is of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine, which is far easier to store than the Pfizer/BioNTech product and can be kept for at least six months.

Meanwhile, Norfolk and Waveney CCG confirmed all planned clinics at its GP-led primary care hubs would go ahead as planned on Monday.
Patients are, however, being encouraged to consider their safety and only travel to appointments if it is sensible.
