More Speed Cameras Added to Midlands Roads Drivers Face Warning

New speed camera vans are coming to roads in a move that impacts drivers in the West Midlands. More speed cameras will soon monitor roads, with police vans parking in key problem areas.

These vans are mobile speed cameras. You have likely seen these marked police vans, but now there will be more around. The West Midlands Police doubled their fleet, increasing the number from four to eight vans.

This increase allows officers to monitor more spots at once, meaning drivers may not know where the vans will be. This differs from fixed cameras, which stay in one place.

Police are cracking down on speeding in the region, so drivers might get caught more often. Speeding causes many road accidents, and it is a problem they are tackling. The investment helps catch speeding drivers, and roads will be safer for everyone.

Dangerous driving has no place here, as speeding has caused too many deaths. The police want safer roads, and if you speed, you risk getting caught. More vans give them greater visibility, enabling them to target speeding hotspots effectively.

This strengthens their ability to enforce traffic laws. They want people to drive safely and to consider other people’s safety while driving. This all happened Feb 22, 2025.
