Dangerous road in Devon may get £1m for speed cameras and AI

In a pilot scheme involving AI cameras last August, police recorded almost 1,800 potential offences of seatbelts not being worn or mobile phone distraction for motorists travelling from Braunton to Barnstaple.

Under the latest plans, three speed cameras would be installed at Knowle, Ilfracombe and Ashford.

Two average speed camera systems have also been planned between Ashford and Chivenor and between Knowle and Mullacott Cross.

The mounted AI cameras would be moved around between different sites along the A361.

Plans are being put together to spend the other GBP4m of the DfT grant on improving junctions and access to the A361 for walkers and cyclists.
