If you’re familiar with driving in the London area, you know that cameras are everywhere. From speed cameras to bus lane cameras and yellow box junction cameras, it feels like you’re constantly being watched.
Let’s focus on speed cameras for a moment. Whether they’re fixed-point, red light, dual speed on green, or average speed cameras, they seem to be on every road. Currently, there are around 1,000 speed camera installations in Inner London and the Greater London boroughs, with the vast majority being digital.
In 2023, over 182,000 speeding offences were recorded for speeds between 20mph and 30mph. This figure could be considerably higher when you factor in higher speed limits. This trend isn’t limited to London; it’s a similar story across the UK.
It’s estimated that over 2.1 million drivers were caught speeding in 2023, the highest number since 2019, with 30mph zones being the most common speed limit broken. It doesn’t take much to find yourself with a speeding ticket and three penalty points, or even a visit to a speed awareness course.
At Road Angel, we make it our mission to keep you informed and safe on the road. Our dedicated team works tirelessly to ensure our speed alert information is as up-to-date as possible.
Our team includes individuals who are constantly out on the road, recording new locations and others who meticulously check information sources. We gather our data from various sources, including customer feedback, FOI requests, and published data. This, combined with our on-the-road drivers, allows us to quickly assess, research, and update our alert locations.
We also prioritise researching future planned speed camera systems to ensure we are ahead of the curve. In the last six months, we’ve brought additional staff on board to focus on different areas of alerts and mapping. Each new team member brings their own expertise and dedication, ensuring our database is the best it can possibly be.
With Road Angel, you can drive with confidence, knowing that our comprehensive and constantly updated database will help keep you protected from unexpected speeding tickets.
