Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what his policy is on the inclusion of the location of speed cameras on Google Maps and other web mapping services.

We expect all drivers to observe speed limits. It is up to the Highways Authority and the Police to decide whether to use cameras and how they wish to operate them.

We are, however, keen that the public should be kept informed about the location of fixed speed cameras and we recognise that apps may include this public domain data on their service. We are not out to trap the motorist. We want to ensure fairness and safety on our roads.
