Speed cameras in North Wales in April 2024 – 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[2] 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 GoSafe partnership aims 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 April 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.
An "engagement first" approach was initially taken when it came to drivers caught over the speed limit in 20mph areas.
But now after a six-month "grace period" enforcement of the 20mph[3] speed limit has begun across Wales (starting on March 18).
There are a host of "enforcement sites" located across Wales where mobile and fixed speed cameras will be used to monitor the new speed limit.
These sites are areas where there has been evidence of road safety risk.
GoSafe said it considers enforcement where communities have raised concerns, collisions have occurred, or in areas where vulnerable road users and vehicles mix for example, near schools.
The location of these 20mph speed cameras can be seen here[4].
Our most successful cameras are those which capture 0 offences.
We want to make Welsh roads safer and 0 offences in a site means our enforcement is working.#GoSafehttps://t.co/PjDSMSnSMi pic.twitter.com/BJYuaOXo0f[5][6][7]
