00:00In the first half of 2026 speed camera vans recorded around 14,000 speeding offences in
00:08Birmingham. Fort Parkway had the highest total on the stretch between Spitfire Island and Fort
00:15Retail Park. Heartlands Parkway and Edgelhurst Road in Sutton Coalfield followed. Bronford Lane,
00:22Stockfield Road, Shenley Lane and College Road also appeared amongst the locations with the
00:27most detections. So where are vans deployed? How's that decision made? Well they're across different
00:34local roads returning to places where police have identified a speeding problem or have heard
00:40concerns from residents. That means the total can be influenced by where and when vans are operating
00:47as well as the number of drivers exceeding the limit. The information published does not include
00:52traffic volumes for each road so it cannot tell us which site at the highest rate of speeding per
00:58vehicle. At the same time Birmingham has changed the limits on many main roads. Some routes that
01:04drivers have used for years now have lower posted speed. The council says camera enforcement is
01:11reserved for selected busy roads where speeding is linked to road harm. West Midlands Police carries
01:18out the enforcement while the council helps set the road safety approach and the advice from authorities
01:23always follow the speed limit displayed on roadside signs throughout your journey.
