Safe speeds

Speed cameras reduce speeding where there is a high risk of collision. This helps prevent collisions that cause the most harm to people. 

Studies show that cameras along with education can lead to fewer collisions:

• 55% average reduction in injury collisions per year following camera installation
• 44% reduction in fatal and serious collisions at targeted mobile camera sites

Speed camera locations

Norfolk Police use different types of speed enforcement cameras to help keep people safe on our roads:

• Fixed speed cameras are permanent at a roadside
• Mobile speed cameras are moved to different locations and used where there are road safety concerns
• Average speed cameras measure a vehicle's average speed between two or more camera locations

Camera locations are chosen using evidence, including:

• Speeding data
• Collision records
• Road safety risk

Where funding is available, the Road Safety Partnership prioritises locations where different speed cameras can have the greatest impact on improving compliance with speed limits.

The aim is to use speed camera enforcement where it can help reduce deaths and serious injuries.
