A LIST claiming to give the locations of 12 further traffic light speed cameras in Bournemouth and Poole is false, it has been confirmed.
The information currently circulating via email claims the new ‘speed on green’ cameras on the A350 Holes Bay Road are not the only ones in the area.
But the Dorset Safety Camera Partnership (DSCP) said the two on Holes Bay Road were the only two in the county.
All the other locations do have red light safety cameras to catch drivers who jump the lights but do not monitor the speed of those driving through green lights.
Johnny Stephens, the Partnership’s head of fixed penalties, aid: “The DSCP can confirm that there are two Speed on Green camera sites in Dorset, both on the A350 Holes Bay Road in Poole. Further information about all safety camera locations in Dorset can be found on the website at dorsetsafetycameras .org.uk.
“Speed on Green safety cameras have been introduced as one of the measures used in Dorset to prevent serious and fatal collisions in the county.
“They will ensure that drivers abide with the legal speed limit and drive at appropriate speeds for these busy traffic light junctions.”
