SAFETYcam and Highways England receive prestigious award.
Carnell and Highways England have been presented with a Prince Michael International Road Safety Award in London.
SAFETYCam and the Red X Programme continue to inspire and provide safety innovation, creating a safer environment for road users.
Based on ANPR evidence the Red X programme has issued over 70,000 warning letters. It also uses referrals to the National Motorway Awareness Course and direct contact with business owners whose drivers offend. A digital compliance monitoring tool has shown that non-compliance has improved, creating a safer environment for those using and working on smart motorways.
