Types of Enforcement
The LPfRS manages fixed camera sites, core
mobile sites and sites of community concern
• Fixed speed camera sites (287) Gatso cameras
use radar technology, are rear facing and use a
'flash' to capture the images required for prosecution
on a standard 35mm 'wet film', They need to be
calibrated and record traffic in one lane at a time.
• Mobile speed cameras This type of enforcement
can also be used to complement fixed enforcement.
Types of Enforcement
cont.
• Core Sites There are 76 (LCC 55) core
sites which were all identified for casualty
reduction purposes with a history of
collisions and speeding.
•
• Community Concern There are 155
Community concern sites (LCC 125) were
introduced on the need for Community
reassurance. They may have less of a
collision or speed issue.
