The Home Office does not centrally collect or hold specific data on the number of speeding offences committed on roads outside or in the vicinity of schools in Wales.

The Home Office’s annual publication Police Powers and Procedures: Roads Policing - the most recent edition of which is available at https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/police-powers-and-procedures-roads-policing-to-december-2024 - provides statistics on motoring offences subject to a Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) in England and Wales, including information on offence type (for example, speed limit offence).

However, the Home Office does not collect or hold information at a level of geographical granularity below police force area level, and therefore this information cannot be broken down by road location.
