1 Site selection and signage in Humberside The netting off funding arrangement of the national safety camera programme in England and Wales ended on 1 st April 2007 with the integration of camera activity and partnerships into the wider road safety delivery process. The move gives local authorities, the police and other agencies greater freedom and flexibility to pursue whichever locally agreed mix of road safety measures they see fit in order to reduce road casualties in their area. 1 This document explains the strategy Humberside has decided to adopt when dealing with camera site selection, signage and visibility. It is felt that this solution offers flexibility in dealing with camera sites and allows resources to be used to tackle the wider issue of anti-social use of vehicles (as detailed in the Police Reform Act 2002). In order to provide the most appropriate solution to an enforcement issue, three site types have been identified. This will allow Safer Roads Humber to continue to focus on the sites with the worst casualty and speeding problems (Core sites), whilst allowing the Partnership to respond to community concerns regarding casualties and speeding (Non-Core sites). The third site type for enforcement is called Event-Based and will allow the Safer Roads Humber to support Police enforcement in intelligence-led campaigns targeting traffic offences and the anti-social use of vehicles. The site selection process and signage and visibility rules are included in the appendix. TE: Non-compliance with these guidelines cannot be used for mitigation or defence for an alleged offence committed by a driver or registered keeper in breach of current UK law. Core Safety Camera Sites Safer Roads Humber will continue to focus enforcement on the roads in Humberside with the highest casualty and speeding problems. These are classed as core camera sites and include safety camera sites established under the national safety camera programme and any new sites identified through the site selection criteria. To maintain consistency, it is intended that the visibility and signing guidelines circulated by the Department for Transport will be adhered to at core safety camera sites. However, non-compliance cannot be used for mitigate or defence purposes (see note above). The site selection process (table 1 and chart 1) details the conditions, which need to be met before a site can be considered as a safety camera site, and demonstrates that cameras are installed as a last resort. Safer Roads Humber has expanded the rules governing the site selection criteria for core sites to allow more flexibility to respond to potential casualty problems: 1 Use of Speed and Red-Light Cameras for Traffic Enforcement: Guidance on Deployment, Visibility and Signing, Department for Transport (January 2007)

2 In the absence of collisions resulting in death or serious injury, sites where the number of slight accidents meets the value required can be considered. This allows the Partnership to consider enforcing at sites with high collision rates before someone is killed or seriously injured. All sites will initially be assessed using a 60-month period to analyse collision rates. The baseline period will still be the most recent 36- month period available. This will allow the Partnership to identify longterm casualty trends. Analysis into the causes of the collisions will demonstrate that camera enforcement is the correct solution All signs will comply with The Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2002 As core sites will continue to have the highest priority because of high casualty and offending rates, enforcement will take place for a minimum of three years in order to evaluate effectiveness. Non-Core Camera Sites A non-core site is a community concern site that does not meet the criteria for a core site. It may have less of a collision or speed issue than a core site. Some of these sites will be identified by the local authorities or the Police as areas which would benefit from safety camera enforcement despite not meeting the criteria for a core camera site. Some sites will be identified by the local community itself and requests for enforcement can be made on behalf of the community by representatives such as Parish Councils, MPs on behalf of their constituents or local policing teams. All requests for enforcement will go through the site selection process to determine the extent of the casualty and speeding problem and whether camera enforcement is the correct solution. The principle behind non-core sites is that flexibility should be employed to meet the needs of as many communities as possible. As such, mobile signage will be used to indicate speed enforcement is taking place. Event-Based Sites Safer Roads Humber has access to a wide range of enforcement equipment and expertise. In recognition of the Department for Transport s move to give local authorities and the Police greater freedom and flexibility to pursue locally determined road safety measures to reduce casualties, the Partnership intends to use its resources to support Police-led enforcement of traffic offences. Humberside Safety Camera Partnership was very successful in reducing the number of speeding vehicles at camera sites; however, it was limited in its ability to deal with other traffic offences. Furthermore, the rules stated that enforcement could only occur at sites with a casualty history or at community concern sites. In recognition of the problems caused by the anti-social use of vehicles in local communities, Safer Roads Humber intend to engage in

3 intelligence-led support of the Police in targeting specific traffic offences. It is intended that campaigns will target the most dangerous drivers and riders in Humberside as well as those who persistently disrupt communities with the anti-social use of their vehicles. As the Police can enforce at any site at any time without any signage or visibility rules, event-based enforcement could be covert. However, the rules governing the signage of non-core sites will apply in cases where the intelligence doesn t suggest that covert enforcement is the most appropriate solution. This element of the enforcement will be decided on an operation-byoperation basis. Summary Safer Roads Humber intends to enforce at three different types of site and intends to treat each site type differently: Core sites are the high casualty and speed sites and will be the main focus of enforcement. Sites will be enforced for a minimum of three years and signing and visibility rules will apply. Non-core sites are community concern sites requested by Parish Councils, MPs, Police, local authorities, etc. They are likely to have less of a casualty and speeding issue than core sites and are likely to be enforced for a shorter period of time. Mobile signage will be used to indicate enforcement is taking place as this adds flexibility. Event-based sites are in support of Police operations to target the most dangerous and anti-social drivers and riders in Humberside. As this type of motorist often manipulates the judicial system to avoid prosecution, covert enforcement can and will be undertaken. The effectiveness of all operations will be monitored. Collision figures will be recorded and monitored for all site types and where speed monitoring is appropriate, this will also be undertaken.

4 Table 1 Site Selection Criteria for New Camera Sites in Humberside Rule Fixed speed camera sites Mobile speed camera sites 1 Site or route length requirements 2 Number of killed and serious collisions (KSI) Between 0.4 km and 1.5 km At least 3 KSI collisions per km in the baseline period* OR In the absence of KSI collisions, the number of slight accidents meets the PIC total value below. Between 0.4 km and 5km At least 1 KSI collisions per km (average) in the baseline period* OR In the absence of KSI collisions, the number of slight accidents meets the PIC total value below. Routes Between 5km and 20km A minimum of 3 existing core sites within the length. (There are no further requirements) OR Has at least 1 KSI collision per km (average) in the baseline period* and meets the PIC total value below. Red light or combined red light speed camera sites From stop line to stop line in direction of travel At least 1KSI collision within the junction in the baseline period*. Selection must be based upon a collision history of red light running. *The baseline period is the most recent 36 month period available. However, all sites will initially be assessed using a 60 month period 3 Total value required Built up 22 /km Non built up 18 /km Built up 11 /km Non built up 9/km Built up 8 /km Non built up 6 /km th percentile speed at proposed sites 5 Site conditions that are suitable for the type of enforcement proposed 6 Suitability of site for camera enforcement For sites up to 1km the above value is required. For sites longer that 1km the value is per km. Speed survey shows free-flow 85 th percentile speed is at or above ACPO enforcement threshold in built-up areas and 5 mph over maximum speed limit in non-built up areas. This can apply to all vehicles or a vehicle class but must be compared consistently. Loading and unloading of camera can take place safely. Location for mobile enforcement is easily accessible and there is space for enforcement to take place in a visible, legal and safe manner. The location of collisions in the baseline period will determine the length of route. Not applicable Loading and unloading the camera can take place safely. The Highway Authority must undertake a site survey, demonstrating the following: (a) The speed limit has been reviewed confirming that camera enforcement is the right solution; (b) Analysis into the causes of the collisions has demonstrated that camera enforcement is the correct solution (c) There is no other cost effective engineering solution that is more appropriate; (d) That the Traffic Regulation Order (where applicable) and signing are lawful and correct. (e) That all signs comply with The Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2002 New camera sites will be selected using an assessment that includes the level of fatal, serious and slight collisions. The combined level of collisions will be expressed as a numerical scale (see below) and assessed relative to the road classification for the site whether it is either a built-up or non-built-up area and according to the type of site, i.e. route, fixed, mobile or red-light. Fatal or serious injury collision = 5 (i.e. 2 serious collisions = 10) Slight injury collision = 1 (i.e. 5 slight collisions = 5) Built-up area is defined as a road with a speed limit of 40mph or less Non-built-up area is defined as a road with a speed limit of 50mph or more
