The exact locations of mobile speed cameras across Wales for October 2024 have been released by GoSafe, the Wales road casualty reduction partnership. These speed cameras are operated in towns and cities using marked vans and motorcycles manned by fully-trained police staff or officers. They monitor vehicle speeds and use equipment to record any violations, often leading to prosecution. The cameras can detect speeds up to 1,000m away, with data such as time, date, speed, distance, and site coding recorded for offenders.
Mobile speed cameras are active in various locations across Wales, including Anglesey, Blaenau Gwent, Bridgend, Caerphilly, Cardiff, Carmarthenshire, Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Gwynedd, Merthyr Tydfil, Monmouthshire, Neath Port Talbot, Newport, Pembrokeshire, Powys, Rhondda Cynon Taff, Swansea, Torfaen, Vale of Glamorgan, and Wrexham. These cameras aim to enhance road safety and reduce speed-related accidents.
