We do that by identifying the worst casualty/fatal crash “black spots” and installing cameras at them, in order to encourage motorists to ... |

The Partnership identifies each location to central Government for approval, and once approval for the site is given, the area is surveyed for the best park... |

| In Peterborough there is a set of lights that are speed sensitive - approach them below the speed limit and they stay green, speed on approaching them and they go red!

I don't much disagree with their point of view. Good road safety policies recognise real human behavio... |
