AVERAGE speed cameras are set to be placed on a 50mph stretch of the main A449 between Hartlebury and Ombersley as police clamp down on those flouting the limits.
The action – using the latest technology – is the first of its kind in West Mercia and is aimed to improve safety and reduce the number of people killed or seriously injured by changing driver behaviour.
The cameras will be in place 24 hours-a-day.
The project is a partnership between West Mercia Police, Worcestershire County Council and speed technology firm Jenoptik and has been made possible through funding from West Mercia Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Road Safety fund.
