Speed Check is a partnership campaign, with Milton Keynes Council and Thames Valley Police combining efforts and resources in working with communities to tackle the problems of speed.
Safety (Speed) Cameras are often set up near major roadworks or at locations where there is a history of accidents.
These cameras take a speed reading of vehicles as they pass a single point.
