Ensuring Road Safety Across the Newport Region
In an ongoing effort to enhance road safety and enforce speed limits, GoSafe, the Wales road casualty reduction partnership, has announced the locations of mobile speed cameras across Wales for the month of March 2024. These vigilant operations aim to curb speeding offenses and ensure compliance with road traffic regulations.
Marked vans and motorcycles equipped with advanced monitoring technology will be strategically placed throughout towns and cities in Wales. The dedicated staff, comprising fully-trained police officers, will monitor vehicle speeds and address any violations promptly.
GoSafe utilizes cutting-edge equipment, including speedscopes capable of tracking vehicles up to 1,000 meters away. While most operations are conducted at closer distances, the technology ensures accurate recording of essential details such as time, date, speed, distance, site coding, and the direction of travel.
