Police in Mid Ulster have erected a new speed warning sign in Newmills this week. 

They're trying to remind motorists to slow down and be mindful of their speed in the area. 

A spokesperson for the PSNI said: 

"Operation Roadsafe is in full swing and we're out and about to try and deter and if need be detect speeding and other motoring offences. 

"Remember that the nights are drawing in, please check your vehicles lights, tyres and brakes. Keep yourselves and road users safe." 

They also took social media to warn drivers to be extra careful in the darker mornings and evenings. 

"More cooler, wet and windy conditions, meaning more surface water on the roads. 

"Please be careful out there. Stick to the speed limit, mind your distance and be vigilant at all times. 

"Stay off the mobile phone and keep your seat belt on. Just a few common sense points to help you stay safe."
