All the mobile speed camera locations across Leeds this week
Mobile speed cameras have been put into place in areas across Leeds as the authorities work to reduce the number of accidents and speeding cars.
Initially, the cameras are placed in core camera sites, which are places with a high level of casualties and speeding vehicles where analysis show mobile enforcement is the best way to reduce them. Others are then put into place in community concern sites, which are areas which do not meet the criteria for core sites, but which have been highlighted by locals.
The cameras work by pointing a laser at passing vehicles which calculates the speed at which they are driving. This laser works in a wide range of light and weather conditions.
