Speed enforcement activity in Cambridgeshire is concentrated around areas with a proven problem of speed or a history of people being killed or seriously injured.

Where an area or road is identified as having a speed problem, often as a result of being an agreed neighbourhood priority or as a result of the data collected by local Speedwatch schemes, the Neighbourhood Inspector will request a full speed survey to be carried out in the area.

To carry out the survey, a state of the art speed survey device is attached to suitable road furniture such as lampposts or road signs, to monitor traffic flows and vehicle speeds for, on average, a seven day period.

Once the survey is completed, the data is analysed and provided to the Neighbourhood Inspector to determine what further action needs to be taken, and to feed results back to the local community. The survey results are also published on this website. View the results of the speed surveys in Cambridgeshire.

If the speed survey identifies extreme levels of speeding, the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Road Safety Partnership Safety Camera Unit will, in consultation with the Neighbourhood Inspector, consider the location as a community concern area for mobile safety camera enforcement.

If you’re concerned about speeding in your area, you can contact your Neighbourhood Policing team by calling 0345 456 456 4 or go to My Neighbourhood.
