Speed cameras in Powys in December 2023
Speeding is one of the largest contributing factors to collisions on Welsh roads according to GoSafe - a partnership made up of authorities including the Welsh Government and Wales emergency services. Not only is it dangerous but it can land you a fine and three points on your licence. The minimum penalty[1] for speeding is a GBP100 fine and three penalty points added to your licence.
In certain circumstances, drivers will be eligible to attend a Driver Education Course, which will incur a cost, but you will not have penalty points added to your licence. If you're worried about speeding in your area, let us know ?https://t.co/JPVcFJFGyd#GoSafe #CommunityConcern[2][3][4]

So to keep drivers safe and reduce speeding, GoSafe has mapped the location of every single mobile speed camera set to be active in Wales in December 2023.

Speed limits on residential roads across Wales were reduced to 20mph[6] from 30mph in September in an attempt to make streets safer and reduce the number of collisions and severe injuries.
Several mobile and fixed speed cameras have been put in place across Powys as part of the change to ensure motorists are keeping to the new 20mph[7] speed limit. The location of these 20mph speed cameras can be seen here[8]. Motorists have been given a "grace period" of three months to get used to the new 20mph speed limit[9] on residential roads but that is set to be coming to an end on December 17, 2023, according to the Welsh Government.
