Enforcement
We will, in an ethical and fair way, enforce road safety legislation with a focus on the “fatal four”; speeding, drink driving, use of mobile phones, and seat belts. We will focus our enforcement on locations that present signifcant risk to our public and areas which cause concern to our community.
Enforcement objectives
- Focus resources on specific areas, key events and individuals based on current relevant data.
- Advise on collision trends and locations where excessive speed has been monitored to Police tasking meetings. Police road safety operations will be reported in the delivery plan.
- All fixed camera sites will be assessed and a programme to replace all wet film technology with digital equipment will be introduced over the next three years.
- Mobile cameras will be used at emerging casualty sites and 75% of time spent on enforcement by speed reduction officers will be directed towards mobile camera activity.
- Work with enforcement colleagues to complete targeted enforcement campaigns aimed at specifc user groups including motorcycle, HGV and foreign vehicles where appropriate.
- Increase enforcement aimed at drink driving, use of mobile phones, and non-wearing of seat belts
