All the mobile speed camera locations across Leeds this week
Mobile speed cameras are in place across the city of Leeds this week in a bid to reduce accidents. These cameras are put in place by the West Yorkshire Police Camera Enforcement Unit on the behalf of the West Yorkshire Safety Camera Partnership. They are in place across two types of area; core camera sites and community concern sites.
A core camera site is an area with a high rate of accidents and casualties. The police have determined that the use of mobile speed cameras is the best method for dealing with this. As for a community concern site, this is an area which does not meet these criteria.
Instead, they have been highlighted by the local community as an area in which mobile speed cameras may help. The cameras work by shining a laser on passing cars to determine their speeds. This works in a variety of light and weather conditions.
Here are the mobile speed camera locations for this week across West Yorkshire.
