Speed cameras in Powys in March 2024 – see the full list
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 £100 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.
The aim of the GoSafe partnership is to “make people safer on Welsh Roads by reducing casualties and saving lives”.
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 March 2024.

Speed limits on residential roads across Wales were reduced to 20mph from 30mph in September 2023 in an attempt to make streets safer and reduce the number of collisions and severe injuries.
Full enforcement[2] of the new 20mph speed limit is still yet to be rolled out in Wales, according to GoSafe.
An “engagement first” approach is being taken when it comes to drivers caught over the speed limit in 20mph areas[3].
The new speed limits are still being monitored with “Operation UGAIN” launching in January seeing three new engagement teams being rolled out across Wales.
Several mobile and fixed speed cameras have also been put in place across Powys as part of the roll out of the new speed limit.
The location of these 20mph speed cameras can be seen here[4].
