A1042 Mile Cross Lane (Ring Road) This site was initially identified on the basis of speed related serious injury collisions. Enforcement was not possible using the Partnership’s mobile camera vans. Compliance with the speed limit is generally good on this section of road. Nevertheless there has been a further reduction in speed at this site which should help to reduce the collision rate and the severity of collisions. A recent review decided against re-positioning this housing within the site. More info... |

A1067 Taverham There is no true baseline data for this site. The outbound camera housing was in place throughout the baseline period, although for the latter part of this period it was widely known that Norfolk cameras were not in use. In order to improve enforcement for vehicles heading towards Norwich, an additional housing has been installed close to the original housing, but on the oppposite side of the road. In 2006, this site was included in the approved route F1, which covers the A1067 from Drayton to Foxley. More info... |

A1074 Dereham Road (East) This site was initially identified on the basis of speed related serious injury collisions.Initially enforcement was conducted by the partnership’s mobile camera vans. The large number of collisions was justification for two fixed camera sites (F10 and F27), and these were installed in November 2002. The speed data is collected close to the mid-point of the two sites. The camera is in the 30 mph limit to the west of the ring road. It has been moved from its original position to a site slightly further from the roundabout to further increase its impact on collisions. More info... |

A1074 Dereham Road (West) This site was initially identified on the basis of speed related serious injury collisions. Initially enforcement was conducted by the Partnership’s mobile camera vans. The large number of collisions was justification for two fixed camera sites (F10 and F27), and these were installed in November 2002. The speed data given here is collected close to the mid-point of the two sites. The camera is in the 30 mph limit on the city side of the Norwich Road junction. Additional mobile enforcement takes place in the 40 mph limit on the other side of the traffic lights. More info... |

A1075 Toftwood This was the first speed camera to be installed in Norfolk. It is on an A class road leading South from Dereham. The camera is situated in a residential area with shops, schools and housing close by. As a result there is a mix of through traffic including lorries and local traffic including vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and cyclists. There is no true baseline data for this site. The camera housing was in place throughout the baseline period, although for the latter part of this period it was widely known that Norfolk cameras were not in use. More info... |

A1076 Gayton Road (King's Lynn) The camera is sited opposite the former private Silfield School, and close to all three King’s Lynn secondary schools (on the route to and from school for a large proportion of pupils at all three). It is also close to a public park and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital is on Gayton Road. This road, as well as being one of the busiest roads in King’s Lynn, also has high numbers of pedestrians and cyclists. There has been a large reduction in casualties along this stretch of Gayton Road and as a result no changes are currently planned. More info... |

A140 Mile End Road (Ring Road) This site is on the ring road in a 30 mph area. Action was needed to reduce casualties and speeds and the results from the first three years of operation suggest that this is being achieved. More info... |

A140 Sweetbriar Road (Ring Road) Many drivers perceive this as a safe section of road, but this is not borne out by the collision history. Collisions have occurred through approaching the junctions too fast and also unsafe overtaking. The camera has been repositioned in order to be closer to the junctions and exert a more direct influence, whereas it was previously at the southern end of the site, where it discouraged drivers from building up too much speed.

A143 Bradwell This site was initially identified on the basis of speed related serious injury collisions. The original mobile site was longer, stretching out of the built-up area. Initially enforcement was conducted by the Partnership’s mobile camera vans, but the only site was in the short 40 mph stretch. The shorter site, situated entirely within the built-up area, met the fixed site collision criteria, and speed data from the original site showed high speeds, and so the decision was taken to switch to fixed camera enforcement. More info... |
 |
A146 Loddon This site has a history of serious and fatal collisions. The camera is sited primarily to slow traffic on the approach to the George Lane and Mundham Road junctions. The Upper Bungay Road junction is also included in the site; it is hoped that the camera warning signs and the proximity of the camera will also exert an effect at this junction. The possible presence of a mobile enforcement van is a further deterrent to speeders. There is no true baseline data for this site. The camera housing was in place throughout the baseline period, although for the latter part of this period it was widely known that Norfolk cameras were not in use. More info... |
 |
A146 Thurton This camera is on the A146 at Thurton in a 40mph speed limit. The road is straight, and potentially fast, with a hill. There are the usual turn offs and houses associated with villages. The camera housing was removed for repair for a short period, and during this time speeds increased by 2 to 3mph. There is no true baseline data for this site. The camera housing was in place throughout the baseline period, although for the latter part of this period it was widely known that Norfolk cameras were not in use. More info... |

A147 Grapes Hill/Barn Road This site was identified a year earlier but was left on hold at that time in the hope that new technology for combined speed and traffic light cameras would become available. This technology, sited at the Dereham Road traffic lights was seen as the best option. However, when this technology was still not available a year later it was decided to install a standard Gatso camera prior to the junction. The grossly excessive speeds were seen to be contributing to many collisions arising from lane changes (necessary for the junctions) and misjudgements of speed. Also, many of the serious injury collisions involved pedestrians where speed and severity of injury are closely related. The initial installation has now been replaced by the combined speed and traffic light camera, as originally envisaged and as recommended by a site review. More info... |

Compliance with the speed limit (national) is very good at this site. However, in a prolonged period during 2003 when the housing was absent, the mean speed increased by 3 mph, and the numbers of speeders, including those exceeding 75mph, increased dramatically. More info... |

A148 Little Snoring This site is now included in Route B1, which was approved in 2006, and covers the A148 from Sculthorpe to Bale. |

A149 Heacham The A149 between King’s Lynn and Hunstanton is very busy at weekends throughout the year. The camera at Heacham is in a 50 mph limit on the approach to the Norfolk Lavender junction. This junction is an offset crossroads of individual design. Vehicles entering the junction from Heacham have often had a long wait for a gap in the traffic, especially at weekends. It is possibly even more difficult to join the A149 on the other routes out of Heacham because there is no central reserve at the other junctions. The camera enforces the speed limit on the approach to the Norfolk Lavender junction. Whilst speed is very seldom the primary cause of collisions on this stretch of road, the camera serves a valuable purpose in reducing the numbers and severity of collisions. There is no true baseline data for this site. The camera housing was in place throughout the baseline period, although for the latter part of this period it was widely known that Norfolk cameras were not in use. More info... |

A149 Caister Road, Great Yarmouth This is a 40 mph site. The speed limit reduces to 30 mph immediately north of Jellicoe Road. The road is wide (single carriageway, two lanes in each direction) and straight. It is used by a large proportion of visitors to the area, since it links holiday accommodation, The Broads and Great Yarmouth. Great Yarmouth Racecourse and Stadium are both close to the site. The camera enforces a speed limit which allows for reaction to the unexpected. More info... |

B1332 Poringland The road through Poringland is a wide, straight 30 mph road. The camera is situated immediately outside a secondary school. This camera is now primarily maintaining the good current compliance with the speed limit. There is no true baseline data for this site. The camera housing was in place throughout the baseline period, although for the latter part of this period it was widely known that Norfolk cameras were not in use. More info... |

A147 Koblenz WayThis site became operational in December 2006. The Railway Station is on one side of the road and the Riverside complex is on the other, and as a result pedestrians cross the road at all times of the day and night. With visibility obstructed by turning and stationary vehicles, there is clearly a need for drivers to control their speeds. Many of the injury collisions have involved pedestrians. The area also has been a meeting place for young drivers, and there have been incidents of anti-social and irresponsible driving. |
 |
A1067 Drayton Road, NorwichThe camera site is situated where the major road cuts through the Mile Cross Estate. There are facilities (shops, schools, playing fields, community centre) on both sides of the road, and a cycle route to the City Centre lies a short distance to the South. The movement of pedestrians and cyclists across the road is reflected in the recorded collisions and there is also a history of collisions at the Bignold Rd junction, just to the west of the site. |
 |
A1056 Ipswich Road, NorwichThis camera is sited close to the Norwich City College. The road past the college is wide, straight and potentially fast. However, the entrances and exits to the college pose a hazard with people arriving and leaving throughout the long college day, both by vehicles (including motorcycles), and by foot, often crossing the road to the bus waiting areas. The camera reduces speeds through this area. |
 |
A147 Queen’s Road, NorwichQueen’s Road is part of the inner ring road. Heading from Chapelfield, the road narrows down from a dual carriageway, into a wide single carriageway and then into a narrower section of road with shops, junctions and a pedestrian crossing. The main objective of this camera is to slow traffic down before reaching this section, with a consequent reduction in the frequency of injury collisions. |

C630 Southtown Road, Great YarmouthSouthtown Road is a busy urban road through a mixed residential, industrial (including docks) and retail area. There is a college and a school in the immediate area. There is considerable scope for vulnerable road users to come into conflict with other road users, which shows in the mix of collisions. There are no obvious alternative practical engineering improvements. |
