A LIST of all the roads where speed checks will be conducted over the coming weeks has been published.
The locations were revealed by the Lancashire Road Safety partnership in a bid to help improve driver behaviour by helping motorists to drive at an appropriate and safe speed within designated limits.
Cameras used inside authority vehicles 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.
A spokesman said: “All 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.”
