Mobile Speed Camera locations across Leeds this week

Every week, mobile speed cameras are put into place by the authorities as part of their work to reduce traffic accidents.

These cameras are put in place by the West Yorkshire Police Camera Enforcement Unit on behalf of West Yorkshire Safety Camera Partnership into two different types of areas. These are core camera sites and community concern sites.

A core camera site is a zone where there is a high incidence of casualties and speeding vehicles. A community concern site, meanwhile, does not meet the criteria for a core concern site, but has been highlighted by the local community as an area in which mobile speed cameras might help.

The cameras work by shining a laser on passing vehicles to determine their speeds. This laser works in a variety of weather and light conditions.
