“All
we hear is cameras, cameras, cameras; nobody does
anything about all the other hazards out there”
In a recent report that looked
at the Safety Camera project over the first three
years, on average £54m(1) was
spent each year on the programme, which included camera
equipment, engineering and education.
Each year, Local Government spend about £2.15bn(2)
on road safety and road structure improvements, which
include traffic-calming measures. In the scheme of
things the Safety Camera Programme accounts for a
very small percentage of all the work being done by
Local Authorities, the Police, the NHS and all the
other road safety organisations in the UK.
