The national safety camera programme: Three-year evaluation report
In 2000, a system was introduced that allowed eight pilot areas to recover the costs of operating speed and red-light cameras from fines resulting from enforcement. In 2001, legislation was introduced that allowed the system to be extended to other areas. A national programme was then gradually introduced and the Kent & Medway Safety Camera Partnership was formed in July 2002.
In February 2003, the Department for Transport published a research report that analysed the effectiveness of the system in the eight pilot areas over the first two years (April 2000 to March 2002). This report updates this analysis to the 24 areas that were operating within the programme over the first three years (April 2000 to March 2003). Only areas operating within the programme for at least a year were included in the analysis.
