Temporary Camera Sites

Safecam receives frequent requests from the Highways Agency and/or contractors to carry out enforcement on motorways or other major routes where they are introducing a temporary speed limit during road works.

Temporary speed limits are introduced to protect all road users and the staff carrying out essential work to the road network, where -

• narrow carriageways make driving more hazardous when travelling at higher speeds
• noise and vibration created by faster moving traffic affects the workforce
• temporary crash barriers cannot sustain being hit at speeds higher than the temporary limit.

Although there may be times when the workforce are not present (or visible), the speed limit remains in place to protect road users.

The Highways Agency is responsible for all aspects of the motorway network, including signing, and temporary speed limits will be well signed in advance.

Please remember that it is an offence to exceed the temporary speed limit shown on these signs.

Further information giving details of roadworks on HA roads can be found on the Highways Agency website at www.highways.gov.uk

Below are details of locations where a temporary speed limit will be introduced at roadworks, and where Safecam safety cameras will be in use:
