Safety Cameras

The Avon and Somerset Safety Camera Partnership has been disbanded and as a result all fixed site safety cameras within Somerset were switched off from 1 April, 2011. We continue to work closely with the Police to develop policies for mobile camera enforcement and with all our partners to ensure continued road safety and casualty reduction.

Safety Camera Enforcement was an integral part of the casualty reduction efforts in Somerset and cameras played an important role in helping to reduce collisions and casualties on our roads. The number of people killed and seriously injured on local roads covered by safety cameras fell between April 2002, when the Safety Camera Partnership (Safecam) was formed, and the time of its disbanding in April 2011.
