Verbal and online abuse from drivers has led to a community SpeedWatch group pausing its work.
Volunteers had been monitoring the speed of vehicles being driven through Keinton Mandeville, in Somerset, since 2021.
But the group has paused its work for a month due to "rude gestures" and "verbal abuse" from drivers as well as "personal" and "very, very insulting" online abuse.
Avon and Somerset Police said it was "hugely disappointing" that volunteers had been on the receiving end of such abuse.
"It's usually people driving past, making rude gestures at you, occasionally someone stopping, winding down the window and hurling abuse at you verbally," said SpeedWatch volunteer Trevor Ryder.
"That we can take, but recently it has started appearing on Facebook.
"It's getting personal, it's getting very, very insulting and we found that difficult to take."
He explained the group was "having a break" for a month.
"We're then going to come back and see if the abuse actually continues and we will review it as and when," he added.
