While mobile speed cameras had a record number of detections in 2023, the year also saw the highest numbers killed or seriously injured on NI roads since since 2011
Mobile speed camera vans in Northern Ireland have been pictured breaching their enforcement guidelines as 2023 saw a record year for detections and the number of people killed or seriously injured on the roads.
The mobile speed enforcement vans do not operate between the hours of 9pm and 6am, with most detections taking place between 9am and 3pm. "The Road Safety Partnership took over from the PSNI in 2008 when the figures were 11,950 caught speeding and the RSP stated they would reduce these figures and in 2024 we are now at 70,000, that’s some reduction. In 2023 figures were around 67,000 caught speeding and 55,000 of these were detected in the 30mph and 40mph limit and only 10,000 were detected in the other three limits. But yet 65% of people lose their lives on rural roads which are speeds of above 40mph.
A PSNI spokesperson said: "Speeding is one of the most common causes of serious collisions in which people are killed or seriously injured on our roads. "Sites where the current practice is to park on the pavement are reviewed regularly and where a feasible alternative location is identified, it will be adopted for future deployments. The RSP vehicles are staffed and can be moved at any time if an unsafe situation materialises. Anyone with a safety concern regarding the operation of the mobile camera vans is asked to contact police on the non-emergency number 101.
