The Partnership

The Gloucestershire Safety Camera Partnership is a true partnership venture involving a number of responsible agencies, each sharing the common goal of achieving a reduction in the number and severity of casualties resulting from road traffic collisions.

Gloucestershire Constabulary, Gloucestershire County Council, The Highways Agency, Her Majesty's Courts Service, the NHS and the Crown Prosecution Service have all recognised an initiative that can contribute to a reduction in the number of speed related collisions, and consequently to a reduction in casualties.

The Safety Camera Partnership dedicates resources to encourage speed and red traffic light compliance, and supports and compliments the daily commitment of Roads Policing Units and Road Safety Officers to improving road safety through a combination of education, engineering and where appropriate, enforcement.

Educating and Campaigning

Road accidents devastate communities, shatter families and wreck lives. We are all affected and we all have a part to play in reducing this destruction.

The Safety Camera Partnership is working both with and within communities to make our roads safer for everyone. Educating motorists of the dangers of speeding and 'jumping the lights' is critical to our work.

An ongoing series of publicity campaigns and education initiatives have been designed to encourage better self-regulation by motorists so that we can all travel around the county more safely. In addition, we work with local communities blighted by speeding issues to introduce initiatives to help.

Safety Cameras

The deployment of speed and red light enforcement cameras is key to our work, as the use of this technology has already demonstrated a significant reduction in the number of deaths and injuries on Gloucestershire's roads. Moreover, as 27% of fatal accidents are a result of speeding, safety cameras can do even more to protect our road users and communities.

The Partnership operates 27 fixed speed camera sites and 23 red light camera sites countywide. In addition, there are three mobile enforcement vehicles operating at over 50 different sites across the county. All share the common objective of working to make our roads safer.

Funding

The Partnership does not keep the revenue generated by cameras, instead it is funded through the Local Transport Plan in the form of a specific grant with any revenue going straight back to central government.
