What is the Departments guidance on the visibility of cameras?
The National Safety Camera Programme was based on visible speed enforcement, ensuring maximum opportunity for drivers to keep to speed limits. The Department’s guidance on the deployment of cameras recommends that road safety partnerships continue to follow this approach. This element of the Department’s guidance has no bearing on the enforcement of offences and non-compliance does not provide any mitigation of, of defence for, an alleged offence. Neither does it restrict or fetter the police’s discretion to enforce covertly anywhere, at any time.
