|
|
In Suffolk local villages have been given speed cameras to monitor local traffic. The registration of any vehicle exceeding the speed limits is recorded. See the following website http://www.suffolkroadsafe.net/suffolksafecam/news.php?article_id=103 I also understand they may have recently been introduced in the west country.
Are there any proposals to include the location of these cameras in the database? |

no. we treat them the same as dummy camera location - i.e. we don't include hem in the database.

From the article, the intention would seem to be that police will then definitely monitor particular 'speeding spots' with official mobiles - so would it not be worthwhile treating these semi-official ones as temporary cameras, rather than wait till the 'real' ones are in use - which might be too late (and the police may try to avoid making them look any more official anway)? _________________ David

I'm sure you are the best person to decide on a sensible response MaFt _________________ David

Not so. These are the same laser speed detectors used by Community Speedwatch teams across the country, as explained if you read the link. |
