Norfolk Safety Camera Partnership

The Partnership's guiding principles are based on visible speed enforcement and ensuring maximum opportunity for drivers to keep to speed limits, in order to significantly reduce casualties on Norfolk's roads.

Laser guns are capable of pin-pointing individual vehicles at any distance from 9m to 1km away. The camera can also be mounted on tripods. Measurements are taken by aiming the laser beam at the registration plate of the vehicle and can be taken as the vehicle is approaching or receding from the camera. Its image is then captured by digital camera, showing time and date of offence, together with the vehicle speed and the distance from the device. It takes less than one third of a second for a speed to be displayed.
