Slough Borough Council

Road safety - speed checks

As well as fixed safety camera sites, Thames Valley Police also undertake speed checks at other locations across the borough. Many of these sites are as a result of concerns raised by members of the public about excessive vehicle speeds.

Safety cameras and Police roadside checks

Slough uses a mixture of safety cameras, red light cameras and Police mobile vans to enforce speeding in the borough.

The sites have been chosen as they have a high rate of casualties or are as a result of concerns raised by members of the public about excessive vehicle speeds.

For more information visit the Thames Valley Safer Roads Partnership website.

Roadside stops

The Police and Road Safety Unit also work together in a programme of roadside stops. It targets drivers or passengers who commit offences such as:

• drivers using mobile phones
• drink driving
• people not wearing seatbelts
• children travelling unrestrained

Roadside stops offer an option of education instead of a fine or points.
