New average speed cameras are coming to more main roads across Birmingham[1].

The cameras will form part of a fresh speeding crackdown by city council bosses which will also see speed limits on a number of roads cut to 30mph.

They are expected to be installed before the end of the year and will put Brummies at greater risk of penalties if they break speeding rules.

Roads bosses in the city say they are determined to tackle dangerous driving in a bid to cut deaths and injuries.

A major change will see over 25 roads cut to 30mph from later this year.

Councillor Majid Mahmood, cabinet member for environment and transport at Birmingham City Council[5], said: "Safety on our busy highway network is paramount and these cameras have an important role to play - far too many collisions on our roads involve excessive speed.

"However, they can never be a solution on their own.

"We all have a role to play in keeping our roads safe and everyone has a duty to think about others, whether pedestrians, cyclists or other motorists.

"This is not about making money - the majority of revenue goes direct to government - it is about road safety."
