Community concern sites

What is the difference between a standard site and a Community Concern Site?

Community Concern Sites are locations which are of a concern to the local community. These sites may not have an accident history, but have a significant speeding problem to warrant enforcement before accidents happen. Safecam's enforcement programme must focus on Core Sites with the most serious collision history, therefore Community Concern Sites will be enforced using 15% of enforcement time.

What are the criteria for Community Concern Sites?

Safecam has implemented criteria for the placement of all safety camera sites, including Community Concern Sites. This criteria is listed in the Safecam Policies of Operation which can be downloaded from the documents to download page.

What are the signage requirements for Community Concern Sites?

What are the signage requirements for Community Concern Sites? All our Community Concern Sites are enforced using mobile equipment. There are no legal requirements for camera enforcement to be signed or visible to the motorist, however our mobile enforcement vehicles are highly visible with camera logo warning signs on all sides and reflective chevron markings on the rear. Additional camera logo warning signs will not normally be in position.

Who do I address to raise a community concern and what will be done about it?

Safety camera enforcement is operated at locations put forward by local highway authorities, since it is the local highway authority who is responsible for the road network. If you have a concern about speeding in your area, you should address the local highway authority.

The authority will be able to discuss the options with you, and it will be their decision whether or not the location should be put forward for enforcement. Accident and speed data will be analysed to support the authority's decision.

How often will the site be enforced?

Safecam will enforce at Community Concern Sites using 15% of enforcement time. Wherever resources will allow, the teams aim to visit a site as often as possible.
