Even though it's not photo radar, it is pretty effective at keeping cars at the speed limit. Your local police department will gladly park one of their speed indicator signs on the side of your road.

This is done using a collision and casualty database that is maintained using actual police records of collisions and casualties. This system enables the team to analyze all the collisions and casualties along a chosen route. The second step in the process, unless the site is for a proposed red light camera, is to conduct a speed survey using speed data collection equipment. This equipment is deployed for five days at a time and records information on every vehicle in relation to: Speed Weather Temperature Time of day Traffic flow Vehicle size This data is then downloaded onto a computer for analysis. The information will be used to ascertain if there is an actual speeding problem. The third and final step of the process is to have the site surveyed by a qualified road safety engineer. This will determine the suitability of the site for the operation of safety cameras. Traffic calming measures such as speed humps and chicanes will always be considered in the first instance. Safety cameras are only operated as a last resort. When this information has been collected and analyzed the team can then decide which type of safety camera enforcement, if any, is appropriate........ This process takes 36 months to complete.....

The second step in the process, unless the site is for a proposed red light camera, is to conduct a speed survey using speed data pool equipment.

This equipment is deployed for five days at a time and records information on every vehicle in relation to:

Speed
Weather
Temperature
Time of day
Traffic flow
Vehicle size

This data is then downloaded onto a computer for analysis.

The information will be used to ascertain if here is an actual speeding problem.

The third and final step of the process is to have the site surveyed by a qualified road safety engineer.

This will determine the suitability of the site for the operation of safety cameras.

Traffic calming events such as speed humps and chicanes will always be considered in the initially instance.

Safety cameras are only operated as a last resort.

When this information has been collected and analyzed the team can then choose which type of safety camera enforcement, if any, is appropriate……..

This process takes 36 months to complete…..
