A24 DORKING ROAD AND LONDON ROAD 'MICKLEHAM BENDS' AVERAGE SPEED CAMERA SCHEME [EXECUTIVE ITEM FOR DECISION]

Decision Maker: Mole Valley Local Committee

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

The Local Committee (Mole Valley) resolved to agree that:

 

(i)    An average speed camera system be installed to replace the aging “Gatso” spot speed camera on the northbound A24 Dorking Road. The new system will provide enforcement between Givon’s Grove Roundabout and Burford Bridge Roundabout in both directions. 

And noted that:

(ii)   The new average speed camera system will be paid for from the Wider Networks Benefit Project that has received funding from the C2C Local Enterprise Partnership, at no cost to the county council or police. The ongoing maintenance and running costs will be fully met from part of the fee that offending drivers pay to attend driver rehabilitation courses (such as speed awareness courses).

 

 

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS:

 

The wet film “Gatso” camera on this stretch of road has been successful in reducing speeding and road casualties. However the “”Gatso” wet film technology is becoming obsolete and needs to be replaced. The proposals for an average speed camera system will ensure even greater compliance with the 50 mph speed limit and fewer casualties over a longer stretch of road, and in both directions. This will improve journey time reliability on this strategic route.
