NEWS RELEASE

Partnership Responds To Public Concerns On Speeding

Mobile safety camera enforcement vans will be targeting new sites across
Surrey from this week in response to public demand.

The Surrey Safety Camera Partnership has drawn up a list of 14 new sites
for exceptional enforcement - sites where public concern about speeding
has been voiced but which do not fully meet the agreed criteria for
regular core enforcement.

The list was agreed after consultation with Surrey Police's Casualty
Reduction Officers, specialist officers with a responsibility for road
safety education and enforcement.

The new sites will conform to the Partnership's standard policy of
visible enforcement and the sites will be well-signed and vehicles
positioned to be highly visible (see attached photo)

The exceptional enforcement sites are:

* A22 Caterham Bypass, Caterham.
* A24 Deepdene Avenue / London Road, Dorking.
* A24 Horsham Road, Holmwood.
* A25 West Hill / East Hill, Oxted.
* A30 Egham Bypass, Egham.
* A240 Reigate Road, Ewell.
* A246 Epsom Road, West Clandon / East Clandon.
* A308 Staines Road East, Sunbury.
* A308 Staines Road West, Sunbury Common.
* A325 Portsmouth Road, Frimley / Camberley (B3411 Frimley Road -
A30
London Road).
* B290 Epsom Lane North, Tattenham Corner.
* B382 Old Woking Road, Maybury.
* B2036 Balcombe Road, Horley.
* B3007 Weybourne Road, Weybourne.

A review of the sites will be undertaken regularly and if necessary they
could be changed after consultations with local police and county
council engineers.

Partnership Project Manager Duncan Knox said:

"Outside of our core fixed safety camera sites and mobile zones, we
often get requests from residents or community representatives to
provide speed enforcement at various sites. They do not always meet the
necessary qualifying criteria for fixed or mobile enforcement - which
targets the worst collision hotspots in the county - so we hope these
new exceptional sites will allay some of their fears and send out a
warning to speeding motorists that they cannot ignore the concerns of
local people."

The Surrey Safety Camera Partnership is made up of four public sector
organisations, Surrey County Council, Surrey Police, the Highways Agency
and Her Majesty's Court Service (HMCS), who are working together to help
cut casualties on Surrey's roads.

Thanks for this. Unfortunately, the information provided by the camera partnerships is not really usable for our database. The details are far too vague - remember, ours works with Latitude and Longitude coordinates, so a road is far too long a stretch. For example if you look at A24, Deepdene Avenue/London Road, it looks to me like that may be up to a couple of miles long.

I know. I just thought I would let every one know in advance. When I am over that way I will pin point them if they are nor already in the database.

From reading the release, I wonder if these are going to be more permenant or if they are only going to be visited for a couple of weeks. To me it reads as temporary visits as they do not meet the criteria for more permenant visits. If it is temporary then it is possible that they would have ceased visits before they ever got approved.

I read it to mean permanent as in FIXED cameras or temporary as in MOBILE cameras.

If you look at the A325 Portsmouth Road, Frimley / Camberley (B3411 Frimley Road - A30) example, which I know fairly intimately, you can't "pin point" a camera location without actually seeing a mobile camera in operation.
