Speed cameras will be out and about across North Wales in April 2024 to catch speeders going over the new 20mph default limit.

It comes as enforcement on the new 20mph limit roads was stepped up from March 18.

An "engagement first" approach was being taken when it came to drivers caught over the speed limit in 20mph areas. 

But now, full enforcement of the new 20mph speed limit will be considered in Wales, according to GoSafe.

Speeding is one of the largest contributing factors to collisions on Welsh roads according to GoSafe - a partnership made up of authorities including the Welsh Government and Wales emergency services.

Not only is it dangerous but it can land you a fine and three points on your licence. 

The minimum penalty for speeding is a £100 fine and three penalty points added to your licence.

In certain circumstances, drivers will be eligible to attend a Driver Education Course, which will incur a cost, but you will not have penalty points added to your licence.

The GoSafe partnership aims to "make people safer on Welsh Roads by reducing casualties and saving lives".

So to keep drivers safe and reduce speeding, GoSafe maps the location of every single mobile speed camera set to be active in Wales in April 2024.

Speed limits on residential roads across Wales were reduced to 20mph from 30mph in September (2023) in an attempt to make streets safer and reduce the number of collisions and severe injuries.

Several mobile and fixed speed cameras have also been put in place across North Wales as part of the roll out of the new speed limit.

The location of these 20mph speed cameras can be seen here.

This month, 16 new 20mph enforcement sites were added in Wales, including three on Anglesey:

  • A5108 - Moelfre
  • A5025 - Llanfaethlu
  • A5025 - Benllech

Motorists will need to also keep an eye out for a host of other mobile speed cameras set up across North Wales this month including in Wrexham, Flintshire, Denbighshire, Conwy and Gwynedd.

The absence of a camera on the map does not negate an offence.
