Smart Speed Cameras in Stafford Prove Their Worth in Minutes
These cameras use very modern technology. They sit on the A449 Moss Pit road in Stafford, monitoring a key route into the city. Data shows the cameras caught 161 drivers from January to September, which is about one driver every three days.
These cameras are “smart” and use AI. Police planned to install twenty new cameras to replace the older yellow box cameras. The new cameras have curved edges and angled sides, with the flash next to the camera itself.
Each camera has advanced technology inside, using radar to measure speed accurately. The cameras track how fast cars are moving. These cameras do not need lines on the road; they use a digital line to measure speed, which is different from older camera designs.
Images go to the Staffordshire Safer Roads Partnership, where someone checks the images carefully. They verify the image before using it as evidence. The two cameras are very close in distance, only 0.2 miles apart from each other.
You see them climbing Moss Pit near Stafford; you will pass a small railway bridge first. The speed limit changes to 30 mph there. The first camera faces northbound traffic, and the second faces southbound traffic.
Staffordshire Police chose these spots carefully, using data collected over a long time. The police placed the cameras where speeding was a problem, as the speed drops from 40 mph to 30 mph. Speeding could easily happen here. Some drivers slow down when they see the cameras, and these cameras help reduce speeding.
