31 New Electronic Speed Warning Signs for Birmingham

SPEED cameras in Birmingham could be on the way out after city transport bosses announced the rolling out of 31 new warning signs in a bid to improve road safety.

The move marks a step change in policy as, instead of the ‘flash and fine’ cameras, motorists will now see more speed activated Slow Down warning signs at the roadside to shame them into hitting the brakes.

Those electronic warning signs already installed, such on Aldridge Road in Perry Barr, have proved such a success in slowing traffic that Birmingham City Council is investing £180,000 in putting in more signs in the next few weeks.
