Leeds speed camera locations: Every road where speeding drivers are being targeted by fixed or mobile cameras

Excessive speed is among the most common factors when people are killed or seriously injured in crashes, with West Yorkshire Police naming it among the ‘fatal four’ causes of deaths on the road. The other dangerous driving behaviours that it regularly highlights are using a mobile phone while driving, not wearing a seatbelt, and drink or drug driving.

Earlier this year, the force announced a crackdown on speeding drivers. Paul Jeffrey, who heads up its casualty prevention unit, told councillors that it would feature a “blend” of speed cameras and officers checking speeds in person from the roadside.

Police teams work alongside West Yorkshire Safety Camera Partnership, which says its aim is to encourage safe speeds across the road network and not just where there are fixed or mobile cameras. It says camera types can be interchangeable at each location where speeding is a concern, meaning enforcement may be undertaken by a fixed or mobile safety camera at any given time.

Mobile speed camera locations in Leeds

The West Yorkshire Police Camera Enforcement Unit provides mobile speed enforcement on behalf of West Yorkshire Safety Camera Partnership. The partnership says its core sites generally have a high incidence of both casualties and speeding vehicles, while ‘community concern’ sites are typically identified by the council in response to complaints from residents.

Enforcement in these areas can take place at any time and on any day of the week. Signs warning of speed camera enforcement activity may or may not be present – and they are not required by law. However, the teams involved do not work covertly and their vehicles are clearly marked.

West Yorkshire Safety Camera Partnerships lists all the potential locations of mobile speed cameras in Leeds on its website. The list is broken down into roads with 30 mph, 40 mph and 50 mph speed limits.
