The Growth Of Speed Ccameras To Be Stopped

Car insurance companies are happy with the new approach to road safety regarding speeding cameras. This tactic will no longer fund road safety through the fines charged to road users.

Together with the halt of the speed camera growth, new ideas will be put forward for other ways to reduce speed on the roads say car insurance providers.

Money that comes from the fines issued by speed cameras will not be taken away but will more likely be put in a central fund to improve the signage of speed cameras and speed limits. Motor insurance companies have advocated this for a long time.

There are also going to be new requirements to improve the signposting of cameras. There are about 6,000 in the UK . There was also an announcement by the transport secretary which stated a local authority must review of all speed limits on their A and B roads by 2011. Speed cameras in Wales will become the responsibility of the Welsh National Assembly from the end of 2007/08.

Also a report is to be made which car insurance companies can look at as well as members of the public, which states the effectiveness of the speed cameras around the UK . There is a need to see if there is concise proof that speed cameras help with road safety.
