Volunteers spent just over an hour measuring the speed of passing vehicles on Macclesfield Road on Thursday, 27th October.
Two local community speed watch volunteers were joined by PCSO Sarah Stanley at the junction with Woodbrook Road to monitor traffic travelling in both directions between 3.07pm and 4.15pm.
Seventy-one vehicles were recorded speeding at 37mph or over in the 30mph limit, with 51mph being the top speed recorded. Most of the vehicles caught speeding were travelling up the hill.
Warning letters will be sent to the registered keeper of the vehicle advising them that their vehicle has been recorded speeding over the 30mph limit. If their vehicle is identified as a regular speeder they will be visited at home by a Police Officer.
PCSO Sarah Stanley said "I receive a lot of complaints from local residents about people speeding in and around Alderley Edge which is why we conduct these sessions. The most disappointing part I find is that a high percentage of them actually live in or around the village."
The Alderley Edge Community Speed Watch group was established in 2012 in a bid to address the issue of speeding vehicles in the village.
Anyone interested in joining the group can contact PCSO Sarah Stanley on 0845 458 6374.

Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below.
People parking half on pavements are blocking pedestrians, pushchairs, wheelchair users, large deliveries wagons, rubbish wagons, and most importantly, emergency services!
I am amazed that if owners were clocked speeding then they should have been fined .What impact would a warning be ?
Interesting that the majority of offenders were travelling up hill. Perhaps regular culprits should be charged £60 and 3 points by the visiting P.C. As long as photographic/speed evidence is provided.
