Speed Camera Spots in Leeds: Stay Alert This Week!

Throughout this week, mobile speed cameras have been deployed across the city of Leeds as part of an effort to decrease accidents.

The cameras have been installed by the West Yorkshire Police Camera Enforcement Unit on behalf of the West Yorkshire Safety Camera Partnership. These devices cover two kinds of locations: core camera areas and zones identified due to community concerns.

A primary camera location is an area where there is a frequent occurrence of incidents and injuries. Police have concluded that employing portable speed cameras is the most effective approach to address this issue.

• Leeds taxi driver's kin honor 'golden heart' soccer enthusiast

Regarding a community concern site, this particular location fails to meet those criteria. However, locals have identified it as an area where mobile speed cameras could be beneficial.

The cameras function by projecting a laser onto moving vehicles to ascertain their velocities. This method operates effectively under various lighting and weather circumstances.

Below are the mobile speed camera positions for this week throughout West Yorkshire. Please be aware these details are correct as of publication but can vary without prior announcement.
