Mobile speed cameras have been deployed across West Yorkshire by the West Yorkshire Police Camera Enforcement Unit to reduce road accidents.

Mobile speed cameras have been deployed across West Yorkshire this week by the West Yorkshire Police Camera Enforcement Unit on behalf of the West Yorkshire Safety Camera Partnership. The initiative aims to reduce the number of road accidents.

The cameras are positioned at two types of locations. Core camera sites are areas with high accident rates, while community concern sites have been highlighted by local people or authorities. The cameras function by shining a laser on passing vehicles to determine their speed, which works in a variety of light and weather conditions.

The cameras are deployed across Kirklees, Calderdale, Wakefield, Bradford and Leeds. Multiple 30mph zones are covered in each district, including locations on Bradford Road, Thornton Road and Halifax Road in Bradford; Wakefield Road in Rothwell; and Otley Road in Guiseley and Whitehall Road in Drighlington in the Leeds area, along with numerous other designated streets across the five districts.
