On average, nine people are killed and 85 injured each day on the UK's roads. By reducing speeding and making the roads safer, safety cameras are proven to reduce speeding and accidents.

Safety cameras provide a valuable and cost-effective method of preventing, detecting and enforcing speed and traffic light offences. They encourage changed driver behaviour and are also proven to make a significant contribution to improving road safety for all road users.

Camera funding, activities and partnerships were integrated into the wider road safety delivery process from 1 April 2007. The move gives local authorities, the police and other local partners responsibility for the future deployment and operation of cameras. This allows us greater freedom to enforce in response to community concerns about speeding or at sites where there are speeding problems and a high risk that casualties will occur.

The fine income from safety cameras is not retained by the Greater Manchester Casualty Reduction Partnership. Therefore we have no incentive to place cameras other than to improve road safety. All fine income goes to the Treasury's consolidated fund in the same way as other fines.
