We don't want to catch you out
None of the following are legal requirements; we do them to give you the chance to slow down.
- We put camera signs up.
- We paint the cameras yellow.
- Our vans are highly visible.
- Camera locations can be found on our website.
- We allow you a 10% plus 2mph tolerance level before prosecution.
Our cameras aren't there to generate money
We carry out educational campaigns to make drivers aware of the speed limits and to try to help you avoid getting a speeding ticket. Our cameras are only placed where people have been killed or seriously injured and are there to reduce further tragedy on our roads.
