There are now more than 200 mobile ‘speed camera’ sites in Gloucestershire following representations to the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC).
Many cover traditional main arterial road ‘hotspots’, but many more are now focused on secondary roads, identified by local people for the persistent high speeds they encounter.
PCC Martin Surl said, “There is nothing ‘Big Brother’ about this and there is no secret about where the cameras will be located.
“It is something lots of people, particularly in rural communities, have been wanting for a long time and we have now been able to deliver. It’s not about ‘catching people out’, it is about trying to make our roads safer”.
It means camera sites, operated by the Constabulary in Gloucestershire, have doubled in number and now include:
- 105 Community sites on secondary roads
- 65 sited on community and main roads
- 35 sited on main roads
- 13 sited on strategic non motorway roads
- 14 sited on motorways
Motorway sites identified are usually only used as part of national operations involving the use of mobile phones, seat belts and tailgating. In addition, 30 more community sites are being surveyed. If the results confirm anecdotal evidence of ‘serial speeding’, they will be added to the list of active sites.
