Kill your speed

We are sending a warning to all drivers in the city to kill their speed, as new data shows that 26,000 traffic offences were detected in 2024 and more than 2,500 speeding tickets were issued.

An additional 3,682 penalty charge notices were issued by Liverpool City Council at five locations that have traffic enforcement cameras.

We are urging all drivers in the city to drive responsibly and have launched a public consultation to introduce a further 15 traffic enforcement cameras across the city.

The expansion of the programme is part of the city's ambitious commitment to eliminate all road deaths and serious injuries, as part of its Vision Zero 2040 goal.

In 2024, Liverpool recorded 14 collisions resulting in an injury whereby excessive speed was a contributing factor, five of these resulting in serious injuries.

Many of the locations for the proposed new cameras are around schools, where the potential for a serious incident is highest. We already have a number of 'school streets' and encourage parents to park safely around schools.

Educating drivers on the dangers of speeding

Through our public awareness campaigns and engagement with local communities, we aim to educate drivers about the dangers of speeding and promote safe driving practices across the city. 

Exceeding the speed limit is a serious offence carrying severe consequences. The minimum penalty for speeding is a fixed penalty fine of £100 and three points on your licence. In some cases, if strict criteria are met, an educational course may be offered as an alternative.
