Abstract

A scheme for hypothecation of fine revenue from additional speed cameras is currently being piloted in eight UK police force areas. Such schemes change the whole fiscal basis of road traffic enforcement activities such that they are no longer a net cost to the police and the courts. On the basis of preliminary results from the pilot areas a decision has already been made to roll out the scheme nationwide, beginning late 2001. This paper summarises international and UK evidence on the effects and effectiveness of speed camera enforcement, briefly reviews the UK pilot scheme, describes the criteria for camera site selection, and presents some preliminary data from the six sites in the Strathclyde Police/Glasgow City Council/Glasgow District Court area, showing the effects on mean speed, number of speeders and number of offenders of partial installation of site furniture. For the covering abstract see ITRD E116025.
