Five new cameras across city for speeding and traffic light control
Roads such as Malpas Road, that used to have just a red light camera, have had their former red light cameras replaced with technology that captures both red light jumping as well as speeding. Chepstow Road into Wharf Road has also had a new speed and red light camera installed, despite not having any cameras there before. Other places that are affected by the installation of this new technology include the A48 in Langstone, the A4042 Kingsway, and the George Street Bridge junction.
A spokesperson for NCC said: "The council together with Go Safe are installing a number of new and replacement traffic cameras in the city to enforce existing speed limits and control traffic lights. "The new cameras will be placed in the following locations:
A48 Langstone - Existing speed camera upgraded to a digital speed camera
A4042 Kingsway - Existing speed camera upgraded to a digital speed camera
A4051 Malpas Road and Bettws Lane - Existing red-light cameras upgraded to digital speed and red-light cameras
George Street Bridge/Wharf Road/Corporation Road junction - Existing red-light cameras upgraded to digital speed and red-light cameras
Wharf Road/Chepstow Road - New digital speed and red-light cameras"
GoSafe is the Wales Road Casualty Reduction Partnership whose "overall aim is to make people safer on Welsh roads by reducing casualties and saving lives." "We do this by providing education, enforcement, and engineering solutions across the roads in Wales."
GoSafe are responsible for fixed speed cameras, red light cameras, average speed cameras, and mobile enforcement cameras across Wales.
A spokesperson for GoSafe said: "These cameras help us to encourage people to drive within the speed limits and keep everyone using our roads safe."
