Speed checks

We are part of a safety camera scheme aimed at reducing speeds, deaths and injuries on the roads of North Somerset.

There are currently 31 speed cameras across the district helping us to achieve these goals and make our roads safer.

Their range includes nine fixed and 21 mobile camera sites and one situated at a red light.

Their purpose is to change driver behaviour and anyone caught speeding will incur a minimum penalty of £60 and three penalty points on their driving licence.

Through this method it has been proved that the cameras encourage people to drive more slowly and thus reduce the number of accidents on the roads.

We fund and site the cameras and provide driver education through the Avon and Somerset Safety Camera Partnership.
