Rotherham Fixed Speed Camera Review
In 2009, the South Yorkshire Safety Camera Partnership began a review of its fixed speed camera sites, identifying sites that, based on their location, speed profiles and casualty history should be considered for decommissioning. Five fixed camera sites within the Rotherham area were identified as part of the review.
From 9 May 2011, the trial included alternative speed interventions at the sites in question. These alternative interventions included mobile speed camera enforcement and vehicle activated signs.
Average speeds at all five sites have been recorded since the cameras were covered, the average speed of motorists does not exceed the speed limit at any of the sites highlighted.
The next phase will be to remove the camera housings. These will be made available for use at other locations across the county if required. The relocation of any fixed speed cameras will be dependant upon the casualty history and speed profile of any roads in question.
The five sites that this review has included are:
- Fenton Road, Rotherham
- A633 Sandygate, Wath upon Dearne
- Barnsley Road, West Melton, Wath upon Dearne
- A631 Bawtry Road, Brinsworth, Rotherham
- A631 Bawtry Road, Hellaby, Rotherham
