Every mobile speed camera location on the roads in Leeds this week
A new set of mobile speed cameras will be in place across Leeds this month with the aim of improving road safety in the area.
Cameras in our region are operated by the West Yorkshire Casualty Prevention Partnership (WYCPP) which includes Leeds City Council[1] alongside West Yorkshire Police[2] and National Highways[3]. Safety cameras are used at recognised ‘high risk’ locations where speed related casualties have already occurred and other sites of concern.
The WYCPP[4] says in 2022 , 62 people were killed and over 5000 injured in collisions on the roads in the region. Excessive or inappropriate speed is a known risk factor in collisions, and the partnership says that many are entirely preventable
The mobile safety cameras work by using a laser, which is then shone at the vehicles to determine their speeds. The vehicles themselves are not disguised and can be seen from the road.
Mobile speed cameras are in operation across the county in the following locations. These are accurate at the time of writing and can be subject to change.
