Answer
Your request for information has now been considered. In respect of Section 1(1)(a) of the Act We can confirm that the Police Service of Northern Ireland does not hold information in relation to request. 

Enquires made in relation to your request failed to locate any records or documents relevant to your request based on the information you have provided. The location information recorded for PSNI speeding detections is not detailed enough to produce figures for specific sections of the road.

Accordingly, we have determined that the Police Service of Northern Ireland does not hold the level of detailed information to which you seek access.
