Wider use of safety camera vans
SAFETY camera vans are to be used in areas with a serious speeding problem, but no history of serious collisions.
SAFETY camera vans are to be used in areas with a serious speeding problem, but no history of serious collisions.Police say the decision follows a survey of the public to discover if they would like to see safety camera vans in areas with speeding problems, but are not accident black spots.
At present, the vans are only used in areas where there have been fatal or serious collisions.
The Safety Camera Unit is now working on proposals to deploy vans in roads with the worst speeding issues, as identified by survey equipment.
Through the online survey and written correspondence, 520 people responded, with 331 people in favour of deploying safety cameras in areas with a speeding problem and 189 people against.
Inspector Clinton Hale, from the safety camera unit, said: "We have made the decision that safety camera vans will now be used in areas with a serious speeding problem, but no history of serious collisions."
