Marked vans and motorcycles are spread throughout towns and cities in Wales to detect speeding offences and other road traffic violations. GoSafe, the Wales road casualty reduction partnership, runs mobile speed camera operations across the country to clamp down on motorists breaking the speed limit.
They are staffed by fully-trained police staff or police officers who monitor the speed of vehicles passing the vans. Once they form the opinion that the vehicle is exceeding the speed limit they use equipment to record it – often resulting in prosecution. A device called a speedscope can be trained on vehicles up to 1,000m away although most work is carried out far closer, GoSafe says.
The time, date, speed, distance, site coding, and whether the vehicle is travelling towards or away from the checkpoint is recorded on the image to produce to the offending driver.
