The scheme was first launched in 2014 and dozens of communities have since signed up.
It is backed by the Police and Crime Commissioner, John Campion, along with the Safer Roads Partnership.
A spokesperson for West Mercia Police said: "The aim of CSW is not to catch as many speeding drivers as possible. It aims to encourage motorists to drive at a safe and appropriate speed, reduce speed in areas on concern, re-educate drivers about the dangers of speeding and address concerns from local residents about vehicles speeding through their neighbourhood."
