The Lancashire Road Safety Partnership has revealed where their mobile speed camera vehicles will be located across the county this month.

More than 40 Lancashire roads and areas are included on the list and may be visited by speed camera vehicles at any time this month.

Lancashire Police Tactical Ops said their Safety Camera Enforcement vehicles will be carrying out checks in Morecambe, Preston, Blackburn w/Darwen, Hyndburn, South Ribble, Kirkham and Blackpool today (17 August); other Lancashire areas will be included in the speed checks as the month goes on.

A spokesperson for Lancashire Road Safety Partnership said: “One aim of the Lancashire Road Safety Partnership is to improve driver behaviour by helping motorists drive at an appropriate and safe speed within designated limits so we operate our safety camera enforcement vehicles across Lancashire 7 days a week.

“Our cameras use highly accurate laser technology to detect speeding motorists but they are also used to identify other offences, including drivers not in proper control or not wearing a seat belt.

“All our mobile sites are risk assessed for safety and we vary how often we attend different locations with sites based on casualty data, known speeding concerns, where a report has been made directly by a member of the public concerned about speeding issues in their area along with any location that has a fixed roadside camera.”

Which Lancashire areas are included on the list?

Safety Camera Enforcement vehicles will aim to visit the following sites during August 2021.

The list includes five types of speed check sites - Lancashire RoadWatch sites; community concern; Lancashire RoadWatch Speed Management; fixed speed cameras; and motorways.
