Speed camera locations in Flintshire and Wrexham in June
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 for speeding is a £100 fine and three penalty points added to your licence.
Speed monitoring takes place up and down the region throughout the year and June will be no different.
Here are the locations in Flintshire and Wrexham where speed cameras will be in force in north Wales throughout this month:

GoSafe say their vehicles are staffed by fully trained Police Staff or Police Officers, who watch the speed of vehicles passing the vans.
Once they form the opinion that the vehicle is exceeding the speed limit, they use the equipment, in order to confirm this suspicion and record it for a prosecution to proceed.
All offences are recorded onto digital storage cards and sent to the Central Ticket Office for processing.
The Speedscope can be trained on vehicles up to 1,000 metres away, although most work is carried out far closer to the enforcement vehicle.
The time, date, speed, distance, site coding and whether the vehicle is travelling towards or away from the checkpoint is recorded on the image to produce to the offending driver.
