Collision and casualty context
150 unique police-reported personal-injury collisions in the final 2024 STATS19 data fell within 500 metres of at least one mapped camera record for Luton. This includes 1 fatal, 23 serious and 126 slight collisions, involving 200 casualties.
This is a proximity measure, not a collision rate and not evidence that a camera caused or prevented an incident. Comparisons can also reflect the number and geographic spread of mapped records.
Speeding fines and penalty points
GOV.UK states that the minimum speeding penalty is a £100 fine and 3 penalty points. If a case goes to court, the maximum fine is normally £1,000, rising to £2,500 for motorway speeding; disqualification is also possible. A speed awareness course may be offered when the police consider it appropriate and the driver meets the conditions.
Check the current official speeding penalties on GOV.UK. This page does not estimate whether a particular camera is active or whether a penalty would be issued.
Questions about this page
Does the map show every active speed camera?
No. It shows an indicative OpenStreetMap-derived snapshot. Records can be incomplete, stale or no longer active.
Are the traffic figures live?
No. AADF is an annual average from the nearest matched DfT count point. The source year and coverage vary by record.
Do nearby collisions prove that a camera is unsafe or ineffective?
No. STATS19 proximity is context only. It does not establish cause, effectiveness or current road conditions.
