Safety Cameras

Gatso Camera

All the cameras in Salford are operated by the Safety Camera Partnership - DriveSafe.

There are four types of camera in Salford

  • Fixed site (Speed)
  • Mobile site (Speed)
  • Red light
  • Red light and speed on green combined

Cameras can only be located at sites where there have been a number of collisions resulting in people being killed or seriously injured (KSI) and where no other engineering solutions are suitable.

The following is a current list of all safety camera locations within the city.

Other sites can be targeted using mobile enforcement as a site of "Community Concern". This is where the collision record does not qualify it for a fixed camera or permanent mobile site but where the concerns of local residents are such that speed cameras would be of benefit in reducing speeds.
