UPDATE: Mobile speed cameras are actively deployed across West Yorkshire this week, targeting high-speed areas to enhance road safety. The West Yorkshire Police Camera Enforcement Unit is implementing these measures as part of a crucial initiative aimed at reducing accidents and casualties on local roads.
These cameras are strategically placed in locations identified as hotspots for speeding and accidents, based on community concerns and data from local authorities. The deployment spans various roads across Kirklees, Bradford, Calderdale, and Wakefield.
KEY LOCATIONS INCLUDE:
– **Kirklees**:
– A651 Bradford Road, Birkenshaw
– A62 Manchester Road, Huddersfield
– A644 Huddersfield Road, Dewsbury
– **Bradford**:
– B6145 Thornton Road, Bradford
– A629 Halifax Road, Keighley
– A647 Great Horton Road, Bradford
– **Calderdale**:
– A629 Ovenden Road, Halifax
– A646 Burnley Road, Cornholme
– A58 Halifax Road, Hipperholme
– **Wakefield**:
– A645 Wakefield Road, Featherstone
– A6186 Asdale Road, Wakefield
– B6475 Thornes Road, Wakefield
The specific roads targeted include major routes and residential areas where speeding has raised significant community concern. For instance, on the A645 Wakefield Road in Featherstone, the cameras will monitor speeds between Station Lane and 140 meters west of Lister Road, an area known for frequent violations.
This initiative is not just about enforcement; it highlights a commitment to community safety. West Yorkshire Police emphasizes that these measures are vital for protecting lives and reducing road traffic incidents. The placement of these cameras is carefully monitored, with adjustments made according to ongoing data analysis and community feedback.
WHAT TO WATCH FOR: Residents are encouraged to stay alert and adhere to speed limits as the cameras remain operational throughout the week. This proactive approach aims to foster safer driving habits and ultimately save lives.
For real-time updates on local traffic and safety measures, residents can receive information directly by signing up for notifications from local news platforms.
This rollout is part of a broader strategy to enhance road safety across the region. With the continued implementation of speed enforcement technologies, officials hope to see a significant decline in road traffic accidents in the coming months.
Stay informed and drive safely!
