Leeds speed cameras: The location of all 24 mobile police speed cameras set up across city in September

More than 5,000 people were injured in collisions on West Yorkshire roads last year, with 65 people losing their lives after being involved in a crash. 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.

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.

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. The following 24 locations are accurate at the time of publication, but are subject to alteration.
