Two speed cameras proposed for Alcester Road, Moseley

I would welcome views on Birmingham City Council (Transportation Strategy) proposal to erect two speed cameras on Alcester Road, Moseley; both in the southbound direction. Looking at the attached plans, the locations look sensible. I've been asked to comment by 3rd April.

Site 1: Alcester Road, between Trafalgar Road and Louise Lorne Road.

The site has been chosen based on road traffic collisions on the A435 Haden Way / Moseley Road / Alcester Road, between Belgrave Middleway and Park Road during the period July 2005 to May 2008.

During this period there were twelve serious injury collisions and thirty slight injury collisions.  This is enough to justify the placement of a speed camera, based on the criteria agreed by the West Midlands local authorities.


Site 2: Alcester Road, between Dowells Close and Hill Crest Road.

The site has been chosen based on road traffic collisions on the A435 Alcester Road, between Park Road and Queensbridge Road, during the period July 2005 to May 2008.

During this period there were nine serious injury collisions and 47 slight injury collisions.  This is enough to justify the placement of a speed camera, based on the criteria agreed by the West Midlands local authorities.
