With less than 10% of their fixed position speed cameras active at any time, East Lancashire have taken decisive measures to alter the way in which they monitor the speed of their motorists.
Taking a new direction, Lancashire County Council has decided to implement a number of mobile cameras as part of their Roadwatch scheme.
Approximately 60 new mobile speed camera sites will be introduced in this move, complementing the 287 static cameras already in position across the area.
Of these 287 fixed position cameras, a maximum of just 32 are active at any one time, with active sites alternating depending on cost and the level of speeding in the area.
Despite the lack of use some cameras get, all fixed camera units will remain in place to act as a visual deterrent to speeding motorists. This mimics recent news which revealed that half of all speed cameras are inactive in the UK.
