The mobile cameras are strategically placed in locations identified as hotspots for speeding or where community concerns have been raised. These measures are crucial as they target areas with a significant history of accidents and violations, underscoring the urgent need for enhanced traffic enforcement.
Key locations for mobile speed cameras this week include:
– **Kirklees**:
– A651 Bradford Road, Birkenshaw (between Oakroyd Drive and North View Road)

These locations were selected based on data-driven assessments of traffic patterns and accident rates, aiming to create safer driving conditions for all road users.
Authorities emphasize the importance of adhering to speed limits, especially in these monitored zones, as non-compliance can result in fines and penalties. The initiative not only serves to deter speeding but also aims to foster a culture of responsible driving throughout the region.
