CRASH blackspots on Hampshire’s roads are being targeted with new technology as police try to reduce deaths and injuries.
A programme of upgrades is being launched and over the coming months many traditional cameras, which are more than 15 years old, will be replaced with more advanced digital technology.
Police say the cameras will be replaced at priority sites where there is the greatest need to reduce the number of crashes and bring vehicle speed down.
Simon Gomer, Safer Roads Unit and Driver Awareness training manager, said: “We are delighted to be upgrading many of our fixed cameras, which will help us to reduce the number of deaths and injuries on the roads in Hampshire.
“We have carefully analysed casualty data and have selected the most appropriate sites to be part of the upgrade programme.
“We hope that the presence of our new cameras will encourage drivers to change their behaviour and drive at lower, safer speeds.”
Hampshire Constabulary Safer Roads Unit operates mobile cameras on a regular basis at these local locations:
