New Surrey safety camera information published
26 Aug 2011

Figures published by the county's safety camera partnership have shown that the number of road collisions and casualties at sites across Surrey has fallen since safety cameras were introduced.

The number of road collisions and casualties at sites across Surrey has fallen since safety cameras were introduced, according to the latest figures.
The statistics, from the county’s safety camera partnership, cover a total of 52 locations.
These are sites that have fixed speed cameras, combined speed and red light violation cameras, red light violation cameras only or mobile speed enforcement cameras.
Overall, there was an average of 288 collisions per year at these locations in the three years before enforcement began.

The annual average after enforcement - between October 2007 and the end of September 2010 - was 194 , a 33% reduction.
In addition, the average number of collisions resulting in death or serious injury at the sites fell from 50 before enforcement to 24 afterwards – a drop of 53%.
The news comes after the government asked all local authorities to publish details about the effectiveness of their cameras.
So far, 75 – including Surrey’s – have published some or all of their information, with the remaining 72 expected to follow suit in the next few weeks.

Road Safety Minister Mike Penning said: "I hope that this information will help local people to make informed judgements about the impact cameras are having on their local roads.”
