There are set to be a number of mobile speed cameras active across Powys in April 2024 that motorists will need to keep an eye out for.

Speeding is one of the largest contributing factors to collisions on Welsh roads according to GoSafe - a partnership made up of authorities including the Welsh Government and Wales emergency services.

Not only is it dangerous but it can land you a fine and three points on your licence. 

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

In certain circumstances, drivers will be eligible to attend a Driver Education Course, which will incur a cost, but you will not have penalty points added to your licence.

The aim of the GoSafe partnership is to "make people safer on Welsh Roads by reducing casualties and saving lives".

So to keep drivers safe and reduce speeding, GoSafe has mapped the location of every single mobile speed camera set to be active in Wales in April 2024.

Speed limits on residential roads across Wales were reduced to 20mph from 30mph in September (2023) in an attempt to make streets safer and reduce the number of collisions and severe injuries.

An "engagement first" approach had been taken initially when it came to drivers caught over the speed limit in 20mph areas. 

But now after a six month "grace period" enforcement of the 20mph speed limit has began across Wales (starting on March 18).

There are a host of "enforcement sites" located across Wales where mobile and fixed speed cameras will be used to monitor the new speed limit.

These sites are areas where there has been evidence of road safety risk.

GoSafe said it considers enforcement where communities have raised concerns, collisions have occurred, or in areas where vulnerable road users and vehicles mix for example, near schools.

You can see the full list of the 20mph enforcement sites in Powys here.

Motorists will also need to keep an eye out for a number of mobile speed cameras set up across Powys in April.
