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. |
