Speed control safety cameras, both fixed and mobile, along with traffic light safety cameras, are operated on West Yorkshire roads where the highest number of casualties have resulted from collisions or other incidents.
The cameras have only one prime objective; to reduce the number of fatalities and serious injuries suffered in road crashes on the county's roads.
In 2002, 144 adults or children were killed on West Yorkshire roads, the worst figure for ten years. In addition, 1,187 people suffered serious injury. In pilot studies conducted in eight different parts of the country, speed control cameras reduced casualty figures by up to fifty per cent.
You can help us to save lives and reduce injuries by driving within the speed limits clearly indicated on road signs.
