A huge amount of money is being spent on installing average-speed cameras on the busy A1079 Hull to York road.

Work starts on the stretch between the Dunswell and Shiptonthorpe roundabouts at the beginning of next month.

The work is due to take eight weeks and Safer Roads Humber have set aside almost £900,000 for installation and maintenance which covers the next eight years.

The cameras will replace the twelve existing wet film cameras with new digital technology.

A spokesman for Humberside Police, said: "Average speed cameras allow motorists to manage their speeds considerably better. They prevent what we call 'camera surfing', where motorists speed up after passing a known camera site, but equally they prevent the triggering of an old-style camera by a brief lapse in concentration."

He added: "Motorists will be able to maintain a more constant, steady and safe speed."
