A North Lancashire route installed with average speed cameras has reduced offences by more than half, according to data.
Analysis of the impact the average speed cameras on the A588 Head Dyke Lane have had in the two years since they went live demonstrates they have been successful in reducing the number of speeding vehicles.
Supt Damian Darcy, of Lancashire Police’s Tactical Operations, said: “Slower speeds mean safer roads for all road users, residents and communities. We thank those drivers who obey the limits. We are pleased to see that the number of both collisions and offences detected on these roads has reduced so significantly. Those who continue to choose to speed on Lancashire’s roads will not be tolerated and offenders will continue to be dealt with appropriately."
Average speed cameras are a visible and effective deterrent to speeding drivers. They are part of a range of safety camera technologies used by the Lancashire Road Safety Partnership, the aim of which is to reduce the numbers of people killed or seriously injured on Lancashire’s roads.
Due to the success of the installations in reducing both offences and collisions, projects are in place to install five further average speed camera routes in Lancashire around the county.
