instances of excess speed
Declined
For maintenance reasons, the transit co. may have their own speed norms, lower than the posted speed limits. The heading says Supervision of Speed and not supe. of excess speed. The paragraph is followed by certain requirements. If these requirements are in the nature of maintenance, then I would think the target term is correct.
However, if it treats of some kind of legal liability, then "Speeding",(breaking the law) as suggested before, would do fine.
I hope this helps.

Comment: "Thank you very much for this information, Bigedsenior!
The context is clearly speeding. My doubt was about the plural, "excesos". Cases or instances of speeding is the right answer.
Thanks again! (-:"
