Mobile speed cameras are set to be put in place across the city of Leeds this week.
The mobile speed cameras are put in place by the West Yorkshire Police Camera Enforcement Unit, on the behalf of the West Yorkshire Safety Camera Partnership as part of a bid to reduce accidents on our roads.
Across Leeds, the cameras are in place in two types of area. A core camera site is a place identified as having a high level of speeding and casualties, while a community concern site is instead highlighted by local authorities as a place of concern.
Mobile speed cameras work by shining a laser on passing cars to determine their speed. This laser works in a variety of weather and light conditions. Here are the mobile speed camera locations across Leeds this week.
