Mobile speed cameras are being deployed at 99 locations across West Yorkshire to reduce road accidents.

Mobile speed cameras have been deployed at 99 locations across West Yorkshire this week, spanning Kirklees, Calderdale, Bradford, Wakefield and Leeds. The cameras are operated by the West Yorkshire Police Camera Enforcement Unit on behalf of the West Yorkshire Safety Camera Partnership.

The deployment uses two types of sites. Core camera sites are positioned in areas with high accident rates, whilst community concern sites have been identified by local people or authorities as needing enforcement. Locations include the A61 Wakefield Road in Rothwell, the A65 Otley Road in Guiseley, Collingham, and Bramley, amongst many others across the region.

The cameras function by shining a laser on passing vehicles to determine their speed. This laser technology operates effectively across a variety of light and weather conditions. The deployment is intended to reduce the number of road accidents across West Yorkshire.
