Every mobile speed camera location in Leeds this week

Every week, mobile speed cameras are put in place across the city of Leeds as the authorities attempt to reduce accidents. The cameras are put into place by the West Yorkshire Police [1] Camera Enforcement unit on the behalf of the West Yorkshire Safety Camera Partnership. They are put in place in two types of area, core camera sites and community concern sites.

A core camera site is an area with a high incidence of casualties and speeding vehicles. Here, the authorities believe mobile speed cameras will help to make the road safer. Get all the latest and breaking news in Leeds by signing up to our newsletter here.[2]

Community concern sites do not meet these criteria, but have been identified by local authorities. These cameras make use of a laser which works in a range of light and weather conditions. This is shined at passing cars and other vehicles to determine their speeds.

Here are the mobile speed camera locations across Leeds this week.
