More than 200 speed cameras active across South Wales this month
More than 200 mobile speed cameras are set to be active across South Wales during May, including on major roads like the M4. Speeding is one of the largest contributing factors to collisions on Welsh roads, according to GoSafe - a partnership made up of authorities including the Welsh Government and Wales emergency services. Not only is it dangerous, but it can land you a fine and points on your licence.

What is the penalty if you're caught speeding?
The minimum penalty for speeding is a GBP100 fine and three penalty points added to your licence.
ADVERTISEMENT In certain circumstances, drivers will be eligible to attend a Driver Education Course, which will incur a cost, but you will not have penalty points added to your licence. The GoSafe partnership aims to "make people safer on Welsh Roads by reducing casualties and saving lives".
So to keep drivers safe and reduce speeding, GoSafe has mapped the location of every single speed camera set to be active in Wales in May.
