UK Speed Camera Database

About the Speed Camera Database
The SpeedCamerasUK database has been built up over more than two decades with the help of motorists across the UK. Each of the approximately 4,200 entries records the type of speed camera, the location or nearest town, the road name or number, the speed limit enforced, and a brief description of exactly where the camera is sited.
All locations are submitted by users of this website. We publish the information in good faith but cannot guarantee the accuracy of individual entries. Please read the full database user guide before using the data. Camera locations can and do change — cameras are relocated, removed and new ones installed - so always drive within the speed limit regardless of what the database shows.

Types of Speed Camera in the Database
The database covers all major types of fixed and mobile speed enforcement cameras used on UK roads. Understanding which type of camera you are approaching can help you know whether it is forward or rear facing, whether it uses film or digital technology, and whether it enforces average speed or point-to-point speed.
Camera types included in the database:
- Gatso - the most common rear-facing radar-triggered camera in the UK
- Truvelo - forward-facing camera using road sensors
- Truvelo D-Cam - updated digital version of the Truvelo system
- SPECS - average speed camera system using ANPR over a measured distance
- HADECS 3 - used on smart motorways, can enforce variable speed limits
- VECTOR - multi-lane average speed camera
- Mobile speed cameras - operated by police from vans, motorcycles or roadside positions
- Traffic light cameras - enforce both red light running and speed limits at junctions
- SpeedCurb - forward-facing camera often used in urban areas
- Variable speed cameras - enforce temporary speed limits on motorways and A-roads
- Peek, DS2, Watchman, Redflex and more

Speed Camera Alerts - GPS Detectors and Sat Nav Updates
The database on this site is a free resource, but for real-time or in-car alerts there are several additional options available to UK motorists.
A dedicated GPS speed camera detector provides audio and visual warnings as you approach a known fixed or mobile camera location. Many models update automatically or via a PC to keep the camera database current. Some sat navs also include built-in speed camera warning functionality - read our sat nav buyer's guide for more details. You can also browse and purchase detectors in our speed camera detector shop.
Submit a New Speed Camera Location

Submitted locations are reviewed and added to the database.
For full guidance on how to use the database, including an explanation of each data field, see the camera database user guide. For information on the terms under which the data is made available, please read the terms of use.
