Overview

• The A64 Sherburn High Street now hosts North Yorkshire’s first fixed speed camera as part of a three-month trial to enforce the 30 mph limit.
• The device will operate 24 hours a day alongside mobile speed vans to assess whether continuous monitoring reduces collisions.
• Sherburn was selected after analysis of county-wide collision statistics and mobile camera data flagged a high-risk route.
• Superintendent Mick Roffe said that transparent placement of the camera highlights its focus on road safety rather than revenue generation.
• Vandals deliberately bent the lamppost on July 1, exposing electrical cables and triggering a police probe and plans for a new installation site.
