I have tried to have some sort of speed enforcement put in place in the are I live in.(Irlam) Instead, we get a marked police car which is plainly visible from well over 200 yards away. In the meantime the speeding boy racers continue to terrorise the neighbourhood. It's only a matter of time before someone is injured or worse. Can the council act on this yet ? Lets wait and see. If I dont pay my council tax it takes only a few days to come mythering for it.

OBserver Stockport. Don't you think people who speed have the potential to be murder people. Drive within in the set limits and you would not need a site like this to warn you about speed camera's. You make me laugh with this idea that the police are not doing their job by stopping stupid speeding motorists. Don't you think they get fed up with banging their head against a brick wall trying to make people like you understand the highway code etc.

Are the new mobile bus lane camera's allowed to hide behind road side fences. Currently one of the new smart car camera's is constantly hiding behind the fence of the 2nd city suite on the A62 coming out of Manchester and the only part visible is the camera above the fence. They also hide out of site facing the sharp building going towards Manchester with the camera raised above the large grass verge

Hi, When a was taught to drive we drove within our limits for the road and conditions. If it wasn't for the idiots who think they can drive, we would not have speed camras. Just a tought. P

Gordon, they are very vague, they mix in with the crowd or hide in side streets, it's unfair that were being made victims, why can't they just stand out like a sore thumb?

Strange, this site states Crawshawbooth Near Post Office - yet the speed trap (although in a yellow van) was almost hidden in parked traffic near the Air Training Corp hut. I wasn't blasting down the road but thanks anyway to the thoughtful Lorry driver who alerted me to the fact that I was about to enter an accident blackspot.......mmmmm.

OBserver, I agree entirely with you there, I mean the popo haven't done any proper policing in years, us drivers are made scapegoats just to get the crime figures up and meke them look like they are doing a hard days graft..put your coffee and doughnuts down and get out there and DO SOME REAL WORK FOR A CHANGE! Clean the streets of drunken alcoholics namely down newbold, and outside the cemetary gates at the top of drake street. Put drug dealers and pimps in cells where they belong not hand out NIP's willy nilly!

Why dont the police concentrate on catching Murderers, Drug Dealers, Rapists and Burglers? Easier to sat on their backsides in the back of a van all day rather then do some proper policing. No wonder no one has respect for the police anymore

Well said B.Chumley. We dont all speed but it is useful to know where these cameras are. Dont hear me complaining when the likes of yous driving instructors have to block the roads when yous are instructing people. ( A little Tip) keep them on side streets until they can actually set off from the lights without stalling, Or only teach in rush hour that way im sure the speed is well within your pace. Happy Driving all :-)

@ driving instructor, be quiet, It's law to know where the mobile camera sites will be for the week.

What a dumb idea. The police are trying to catch people in the hope of stopping them killing themselves or others. Why help potential killers?

Its nice to see this information is now available as it has been in several countries that I know of for some time now. I just hope the information given on the cameras' sites is correct and its not just scare-mongering...Thanks anyway for making this info available to the general public..its about time!!
