The purpose of safety cameras is to change driver behaviour - they are only used when people break speed limits.
When this happens a camera detects the offence and provides evidence for a fixed penalty notice.
Drivers who choose to exceed the legal speed limits will incur a minimum penalty of £60 and three penalty points on their driving licence.
Who installs speed cameras?
The Council plays very little part in deciding where speed cameras should be located in the borough, traffic speed enforcement is carried out by the Police.
The Police have powers to enforce against all moving traffic offences. There are a number of ways in which this can be done – from permanently placed speed cameras to mobile enforcement with radar speed guns.
