NEWS RELEASE
Partnership Responds To Public Concerns On Speeding
Mobile safety camera enforcement vans will be targeting new sites across Surrey from this week in response to public demand.
The Surrey Safety Camera Partnership has drawn up a list of 14 new sites for exceptional enforcement - sites where public concern about speeding has been voiced but which do not fully meet the agreed criteria for regular core enforcement.
The list was agreed after consultation with Surrey Police’s Casualty Reduction Officers, specialist officers with a responsibility for road safety education and enforcement.
The new sites will conform to the Partnership’s standard policy of visible enforcement and the sites will be well-signed and vehicles positioned to be highly visible (see attached photo)
The exceptional enforcement sites are:
-
-
-
- *A22 Caterham Bypass, Caterham.

-
-
-
-
- *A24 Deepdene Avenue / London Road, Dorking.

A review of the sites will be undertaken regularly and if necessary they could be changed after consultations with local police and county council engineers.
Partnership Project Manager Duncan Knox said:
“Outside of our core fixed safety camera sites and mobile zones, we often get requests from residents or community representatives to provide speed enforcement at various sites. They do not always meet the necessary qualifying criteria for fixed or mobile enforcement - which targets the worst collision hotspots in the county - so we hope these new exceptional sites will allay some of their fears and send out a warning to speeding motorists that they cannot ignore the concerns of local people.”
The Surrey Safety Camera Partnership is made up of four public sector organisations, Surrey County Council, Surrey Police, the Highways Agency and Her Majesty’s Court Service (HMCS), who are working together to help cut casualties on Surrey’s roads.
