This session will introduce key findings from a research project considering the role and effectiveness of cameras as a component of Community Speed Watch (CSW).

Findings of the research appear to show a positive impact of cameras on driver speeds, but also brought to light some important considerations when adding a camera-based technological component to CSW. Questions will be raised for the audience to consider, to encourage thinking about whether there is a beneficial role for cameras in CSW.
