Locations for 19 speed cameras reactivated in South Wales
Works have been ongoing in recent months to put road signage and traffic regulations in place for the new 20mph speed limit which was introduced on residential roads in Wales in September 2023. As a result, 19 speed cameras in south Wales were switched off to allow the works to be carried out. Speeding to save a few extra minutes just isn't worth it.
So please take time to plan your journey and allow extra time for unexpected delays such as traffic jams and diversions.#KnowTheLimits #BeSafe #GoSafe pic.twitter.com/raGxdM1EAo[1][2][3][4]
-- GanBwyll / GoSafe (@GoSafeCymru) November 20, 2023[5]GoSafe[6] - a partnership made up of authorities including the Welsh Government and Wales emergency services - said: "Fixed cameras are installed where the collision risk is highest and encourage people to drive within the speed limits, ensuring that everyone is safer on our roads. "We have been working with Highways Authorities across Wales as they have put road signage[7] and Traffic Regulation Orders (TRO) are put in place on 20mph and 30mph roads that aren't covered by the new default speed limit. "Following the completion of this work in several areas, the following cameras will resume enforcement in 30mph areas."
