This handbook sets out the rules and guidance relating to the national safety camera programme in England and Wales for 2005-6. Safety camera partnerships set out their proposals for the operation of cameras for the year ahead in an operational case. The safety camera programme is base don visible speed enforcement, ensuring maximum opportunity for drivers to keep to speed limits. Partnerships are asked to review their existing sites to ensure that the deployment of cameras and enforcement resources achieves the maximum road safety benefit. New sites must comply with national rules and guidance, and performance must be measured on a regular basis. Local communications underpin the drive to reduce casualties through changing driver behaviour. The costs of approved camera operation and enforcement are reclaimed by the partnerships.
