Question (Thomas Turrell AM | Bexley and Bromley): 25th February 2025
How many new speed cameras have been installed on London roads since 2016? Please can the answer be broken down year and borough?
Answer (Sir Sadiq Khan | Mayor of London): 6th May 2025
I am determined to eliminate deaths and serious injuries from London's roads and investment in tackling speeding, and extreme speeding, is a key part of my Vision Zero action plan.
Transport for London (TfL) has an extensive safety camera network, with over 820 fixed sites and 6 average speed corridors. Since 2016 TfL has installed 20 new average speed cameras. 18 of these have been deployed on the A10 between Southbury Road and the M25. 2 of these were installed on the A20 east of Crittalls Corner in 2023 and were subsequently removed in 2024. In addition it has purchased 7 mobile speed cameras which have been deployed across London to target non-compliance 'hot-spots' and areas where local communities are concerned about speeding on residential roads.
TfL remains committed to expanding its safety camera network in the future as part of efforts to reduce speed and speed-related collisions. However, it is not routinely installing new speed cameras on the network whilst it continues to work with the Metropolitan Police Service to build capacity to enforce up to one million offences and concludes the process of re-letting the major safety camera contracts for the existing network. TfL aims to have completed contract negotiations in 2025/26 and will then focus attention on expansion of the network to new locations using a risk-based methodology which will involve engagement with the London Boroughs.
