More Lancashire Speed Cameras On The Way

The number of speed camera sites on roads across Lancashire is set to soar in the next 12 months.

Unlike existing sites, the new locations will not provide drivers with a warning sign telling them that the cameras are there. The Lancashire Roadwatch project will see huge stretches of road designated as mobile camera sites, instead of specific spots.

Brian MacDowall, of the Association of British Drivers, said: “We are appalled by the response of Lancashire camera partnership. We can only summise that if they are going down this route it is only being done for the purposes of raising revenue now that there is no central Government funding for raising cameras.

The scheme will be rolled out to South Ribble early next year, followed by east Lancashire and then all other areas throughout 2012.

Extrapolating the number of new cameras to be introduced, Lancashire could soon have another 78 speed camera sites. Since 2001, well over half a million speeding tickets have been handed out to motorists the county.
