Safety Camera Partnership

We are part of the Safety Camera Partnership in Avon and Somerset.

The partnership was launched in April 2002 with the aim of reducing road accidents and causalities through the enforcement of speed limits and red traffic lights using camera technology, and driver education programmes.

The partnership consists of local highways and health authorities, police, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), the Highways Agency and Her Majesty's Court Service for Avon and Somerset.

The partnership must adhere to guidelines set by the Department for Transport.

Camera sites must have a collision history of speed-related accidents or a general speeding problem. All fixed sites must also be clearly signed and visible.

Currently there are eight fixed, 22 mobile camera and one red light camera site across North Somerset.
