Staffs studies average speed cams for A38
Staffordshire County Council is considering installing average speed enforcement cameras on a section of the A38 dual carriageway between Weeford and Bassett’s Pole, south of Lichfield.

The A38 provides a link between the A5, M6 Toll and Birmingham and the Birmingham motorway box.
