Safety Camera Placement
Dear Kent & Medway Safety Camera Partnership,
Further to a previous freedom of information request to Kent police I have been advised 'The decision on camera locations are not made by Kent Police; we would recommend you direct this query to the Kent and Medway Safety Camera Partnership (KMSCP) who will be in a better position to assist. '
As stated on the Kent & Medway Safety Camera Partnership website;
(http://www.kmscp.org/safety-cameras/wher...)
'Fixed safety camera sites are located where three or more people have been killed or
seriously injured in speed-related crashes, over a 1.5km stretch of road, in the three years
prior to installation.'
Why are there cameras placed in certain locations where these conditions are not met?

Worth noting that the KMSCP website is massively out of date, and their list of speed camera is not a true reflection of what is actually installed out there, so they may use this as a reason not to provide information.
