2022/25626 - Speeding

REQUEST

I am writing to make a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

If it is not possible to answer all of the questions including for reasons related to cost of compliance limits identified in Section 12, please still answer as many questions as possible, starting from question 1. Please do not pause a response to this request because you cannot answer one of the questions. Please answer as many as you can.

Police forces have a "tolerance" level related to when their speed cameras activate if a driver is travelling above the legal limit. For instance, a police force's "tolerance" may be 10% plus 2mph. In that case, on a 30mph road, a camera would not normally activate unless a car drove past at 35mph or higher.

Please can you disclose the current "tolerance" level used by your force's speed cameras?

2.

If your force's "tolerance" level for speed cameras has ever changed since November 1, 2017, please can you provide a list of the dates for when each change to the level was made, and what it changed to and from?

3.

For every month since November 2017, please can you disclose the number of warnings of prosecution sent to motorists for speeding?

N.B. for this question, if the figures are collated in a different way - for instance by quarter instead of by month - please provide this instead. 

Similarly, if the force holds data for less that five years, please provide the maximum available.

For this question I am, essentially, looking for data on the number of speeding tickets issued by the force throughout the past 5 years, or as close to that time period as possible.
