Abstract
A new survey published by the IAM has produced conflicting findings with regard to public opinion of safety cameras. On the one hand the survey shows that just 29% of Britain’s motorists think that safety cameras are only used at sites with a bad record of crashes and injuries, and 50% think that raising money is their primary aim. However, the same survey also reveals that support for safety cameras is at 79%, with the highest level of support in London (85%) and the lowest in the North East (67%). The figures are revealed in the IAM’s latest report, ‘Public Opinions of Speed Cameras’, which is based on a survey of more than 1,000 people. This is the summary of this report. (Author/publisher)
