Site data

There is overwhelming national and international research evidence published by independent academics that safety cameras are effective at encouraging slower speeds and reducing casualties at collision hotspots.

The most recent research in the UK was undertaken by Professor Richard Allsop commissioned by the RAC Foundation, and considered several years worth of data for over 4,000 camera sites across Britain. You can download the full report on the right of this page.

The casualty reduction performance of safety cameras in Surrey very much echos the results of this national research, with slower speeds and fewer casualties being recorded. Collision, casualties and prosecution data for fixed and core mobile sites in Surrey is continually monitored and can be downloaded on the right of this page.

It should be noted that mobile speed enforcement is sometimes undertaken at fixed speed camera sites to supplement the fixed speed camera. Also, in addition to these core sites, mobile enforcement is also undertaken from time to time at many other sites in response to community concerns over excessive speeds and road safety.
