Every Week 3 People Are Killed
on Roads in the Thames Valley

The Thames Valley Police has joined forces with the 9 Highway authorities in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, the Highways Agency, The Crown Prosecution Service and the Her Majesty’s Courts Service to take action.

Through the Safer Roads Partnership, the police, councils and courts are using dedicated road safety funding to target roadside enforcement and to educate drivers about the dangers and risks involved with a variety of road traffic offences.

Remember - safety cameras are working in thames valley

The Thames Valley was one of the first areas in the country to operate speed and red light cameras known collectively as “safety cameras” and they have been in use for over 10 years. Over that period they have helped to reduce speed and casualties on our roads. The new funding arrangements will now allow more resources to help drive down speed and reduce injuries. In particular our mobile enforcement teams will be targeting casualty hot-spots and high risk routes.

Where the cameras have been working in Thames Valley, results from an independent report have shown that the number of people being killed or seriously injured has fallen by 43%.
