Speed Cameras Upgraded

Speed cameras in Ware Road have been upgraded to record digital images.

Hertfordshire Safety Camera Partnership started the countywide upgrade programme last year, identifying 25 sites for new equipment.

Theresa Casbard, Head of the Road Safety Unit at Hertfordshire County Council, said: ‘We are the first Partnership in the country to place an order for these fixed digital cameras. They should make a big contribution to casualty reduction. The wet film cameras that we have been using will need to be phased out as they become obsolete.”

Apart from modifications to the housings, the upgrade to digital includes a separate night flash pole.
