Introduction

The Scottish Safety Camera Programme (“the Programme”) aims to reduce the number of casualties on Scotland’s roads.

It does this by ensuring safety cameras are deployed as a visible and effective way in which to encourage improved driver behaviours and compliance with the speed limit. This helps contribute to the road safety vision contained in Scotland’s Road Safety Framework to 2030.

“For Scotland to have the best road safety performance in the world”

Police Scotland is responsible for the operational delivery of the Programme through three regional Safety Camera Units. Transport Scotland, through the Scottish Safety Camera Programme Office, is responsible for the Programme’s performance and the administration of grant funding for camera enforcement activity. 

This annual report is informed largely by information submitted by the three regional Safety Camera Units. It sets out the range of activities the Programme has been involved in throughout 2022/23 to ensure safety cameras maximise their potential to reduce injury collisions.
