Speed cameras

Speed Camera

Last updated: 24 November 2009

They may be the bane of your life, but the fact is speed cameras are reducing the number of accidents on the region's roads.


This guide points out the accident hotspots where incident rates are higher in North West Wales, and also where speed cameras have been placed to try and reduce them.
Plus we reveal new locations targeted by the police to cut speed.

Accident hotspots
Between 1998 and 2001, 222 people were killed, 1,103 were seriously injured and 15,908 people slightly injured on North Wales' roads, at an estimated cost of £130m for the area. Over 2,300 of these were children.

Since the launch of the speed camera campaign, road accident deaths have been reduced by 47% and serious injuries by 40%.
