A list of mobile speed camera locations for Leeds has been published by West Yorkshire Police.
Cameras are usually used in areas with a high number of accidents, where people fail to comply with speed limits or to counter antisocial speeding. The aim is to reduce deaths and serious injuries on Leeds roads by reducing the level and severity of speeding and red light offences.
Mobile speed enforcement, which is provided by West Yorkshire Police on behalf of West Yorkshire Casualty Prevention Partnership, also aims to improve the driving standards through education and enforcement. Many mobile speed cameras are installed at "the worst casualty hotspots".

A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Police said: "These measures are for all road users and include installation of fixed speed control safety cameras, mobile safety camera patrols, and traffic signal cameras. Speed and red light violation cameras play an important role in reducing road casualties.
"Roads where cameras are present consistently see collision reduction rates that are better than the rest of the road network."
