These are the Wigan borough mobile and static speed camera locations

In the borough, there are 29 sites listed where speed camera vehicles can visit at any time, 15 static speed-safety camera locations, six red light and one for speed and red lights, that have been identified in major roads and areas of concern.

Enforcement vehicles monitor areas across the county seven days a week with regular checks made across many of the North West motorways connecting to the borough.

More than a quarter of deaths on the road involve a speeding driver, and many serious and fatal collisions happen when drivers “jump through” traffic lights on red.

Before installing permanent cameras TfGM work in partnership with local authorities to reduce risks first by other traffic-calming measures or by using temporary or mobile cameras.

Where possible, they will first try things like: speed humps, vehicle activated signs that show a motorist’s actual speed, rumble strips, or chicanes to slow traffic down.

The law gives local authorities and safety organisations responsibility for installing and operating cameras and they are put in places where statistics show a high number of collisions and casualties.

The cost of installing a new safety camera must be paid for by the local authority and the decision to locate a fixed speed-safety camera is based on the number of speed-related collisions that have occurred within the immediate area.

Speed limits are set for a reason and exceeding them is illegal.

The minimum penalty for speeding is £100 fine and three points added to your licence.
