Recent figures from the Kent and Medway Safety Camera Partnership, which celebrates its tenth anniversary this year, have claimed that the number of road fatalities and serious collisions have been reduced by 72% at speed camera sites in Kent over just three years.
The figures, which were calculated for the period between 2009 and 2011, set out to show how the number of incidences dropped significantly during this period, coinciding with the introduction of speed cameras at crash hot-spots.
Both fixed and mobile cameras were taken into account. Sites with fixed cameras witnessed a 72% reduction in serious injuries and deaths (from 363 to 103) whilst those with mobile cameras experienced a 67% reduction (from 118 to just 62).
