Abstract

Since their introduction, speed cameras have consistently proven to be a remarkably cost effective and successful method of reducing casualties on the roads. In recent months, however, there have been a number of critical reports in the media branding speed cameras a ‘failure’. This research briefing – prepared by the Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety and the Slower Speeds Initiative – reviews 10 of these criticisms of cameras and examines the research evidence surrounding them. The results reveal that that many of the criticisms are either unfounded or seriously flawed and do not accurately represent the majority of research evidence. (Author/publisher)
