ANTI-SPEEDING campaigners say drivers hurtling along at more than 100mph are among thousands to break the limit on a main road.
Police data shows 92,000 vehicles broke the speed limit on the A436 between the Air Balloon Roundabout and Bourton-on-the-Water during October and November.
The top speed was 136mph, which was recorded near Andoversford, the No Crash (North Cotswolds Rural area Against Speeding Harm) group claims.
High speeds of 131mph and 128mph were also recorded near the village of Westfield.
Cotswold District Council leader Councillor Paul Hodgkinson, who is the chairman of No Crash, said: "We always knew that speeding was a real issue, not just perception.
"Now, we are asking for regular action over the long term to promote road safety."
Inspector Jason Keates, who is in charge of policing roads in Gloucestershire, said: "We fully support communities looking to help make their communities safe and speeding vehicles are a concern in a number of villages and parishes in the county.
"A multi-agency approach is being taken to address the concerns of residents on this route and we do already carry out regular speed checks in the area, both with mobile patrols and camera vans."
More than 250,000 vehicles were counted as they drove along that stretch of road during the two months.
Drivers were also recorded doing over 100mph along stretches near Kilkenny, Hampen Hill and the Shipton crossroads, the group said.
No Crash was set up in the summer to combat speeding on the A436 and in surrounding villages.
