Motorists fear road safety following speed camera deactivation
Three per cent of all fixed speed detection cameras have been switched off or removed.
66 per cent of motorists fear roads in selected parts of the UK will become dangerous due to the deactivation of speed cameras, new RoadPilot research shows.
Since funding cuts were announced by the coalition government, 3 per cent of all fixed speed detection cameras have been switched off or removed.
However, with more camera partnerships reviewing the number of cameras that remain active, motorists are becoming concerned about the implications for road safety.
James Flynn, OBE, CEO of RoadPilot said: "Allowing motorists to prepare for changes in the speed limit or upcoming speed cameras aids road safety. Speed camera detection systems such as RoadPilot Mobile alert users to cameras via audio alerts, as well as displaying the specific road’s speed limit."
