GoSafe has announced fixed 20mph speed cameras will be activated in Wales this month. The road casualty reduction partnership states that highways authorities install fixed cameras where the risk of a collision is highest, encouraging people to drive within the speed limits and keep us all safer on the road, with four cameras to be turned on on Saturday, November 15. GoSafe will process the offences captured by the camera scheme and use advice letters for the first four weeks once each camera is active. It says: "These letters allow us to engage first and tell people the correct speed limit, instead of using educational courses or prosecutions. "An advice letter will only be offered to people who haven’t already received one in Wales. "We recognise that most people want to drive safely through their communities. "However, if they were unaware of the correct speed limit, they may be regularly passing a fixed camera and unknowingly breaking the law. "This could put people at risk of losing their licence. "Using the advice letters supports our aim of making our roads safer and only using enforcement as a last resort." 20mph speed cameras will be activated in the following locations on Saturday, November 15: GoSafe is the largest partnership of its type in the United Kingdom, made up of 27 equal partners, including the 22 unitary authorities in Wales, four Welsh police forces, and the Welsh Government. It is responsible for fixed speed cameras, red light cameras, average speed cameras, and mobile enforcement cameras. It says its overall aim is to "make people safer on Welsh roads by reducing casualties and saving lives", achieving this by "providing education, enforcement, and engineering solutions across the roads in Wales."
