Across Leeds, mobile speed cameras are in force this week as part of work to reduce the number of accidents on the city’s roads.

Mobile speed cameras are put in place by the West Yorkshire Police Camera Enforcement Unit on behalf of West Yorkshire Safety Camera Partnership. They are installed in two types of area in Leeds: core camera sites and community concern sites.

A core camera site is an area with a high incidence of both casualties and speeding vehicles, where it is believed a mobile speed camera will work to reduce this. A community concern site does not meet these criteria, but has instead been highlighted by local people or a local authority.

The cameras work by shining a laser on passing vehicles to determine their speed. This works in a variety of light and weather conditions. Here are the camera sites across Leeds this week.
