Speed & red light cameras

We install speed and red light cameras although it's up to the Metropolitan Police to maintain them and collect fines.

What are they?

Speed Cameras record violations to existing speed limits. They usually are triggered by speeding vehicles and take a record of sure violation.

Red Light Cameras work in a similar way, but catch drivers who cross Traffic Signal stop lines when their signals is on red.

Why are they used?

Speed Cameras are used on routes which have a high number of crashes caused by excessive speed.

Red Light Cameras are used at Traffic Signalled Junction where there have been a large number of crashes caused by drivers failing to stop at red lights.

Where are they used?

Such equipment is expensive to install and maintain and so are only installed along major routes in the borough where excessive speed is a problem.

Speed Cameras tend to be installed along routes and the route is signed accordingly. A warning is placed prior to any signalled junction that have red light cameras.
