Where Are The Mobile Speed Cameras In Hull And East Yorkshire This Week August 18-24?

Anyone driving around Hull and East Yorkshire has probably seen them - the white vans parked up at the side of the road. These mobile speed cameras are a familiar sight, and this week, from Monday, August 18th to Sunday, August 24th, they'll be out and about again.

Safer Roads Humber has released a list of some of the locations its enforcement officers are planning to visit, but here's the thing: that list isn't the full story. The police can, and do, set up checks on any road, at any time. So, it's always best to keep an eye on your speed, no matter where you're driving in the region. It's all about making the roads safer for everyone, from commuters to families heading out for the day.

What's the deal with the cameras?

So, what's it all about? These vans are run by Safer Roads Humber, working closely with Humberside Police. Think of them less as a trap and more as a reminder to slow down. The main goal is to reduce accidents and make sure everyone gets where they're going in one piece. Let's be honest, nobody wants to see more local news stories that end in death notices or funeral announcements because of a crash. The roads in this region can be a real mix, from long country lanes to busy city streets in Hull.

While you can find a schedule on the Safer Roads Humber website, they make it clear that their enforcement officers aren't just limited to those spots. The Humberside Police have the power to enforce speed limits wherever they see fit. It's about creating a general habit of safer driving, not just getting people to slow down for a hundred metres. After all, safety is a big topic in the community, whether it's a young Hull mum concerned about the state of her council flat or people discussing the impact of the Vivergo Fuels closure. Safe roads are a massive part of a safe community.

So, where can you expect to find them this week?

If you're driving around Hull and East Yorkshire between Monday, August 18th and Friday, August 22nd, here are some of the known locations where the mobile speed cameras will be. Of course, on the weekend, the vans will be at various sites across the whole area, keeping things unpredictable.

• Monday, August 18: A614 Londesborough roundabout to Middleton on the Wolds
• Tuesday, August 19: B1242 Aldborough
• Wednesday, August 20: A614 Howden Road
• Thursday, August 21: A1035 Catwick
• Friday, August 22: A614 Snaith Road - Rawcliffe
• Saturday, August 23: Various sites across the region
• Sunday, August 24: Various sites across the region

And for anyone heading south over the Humber Bridge, perhaps to check out the Barton Wildlife Park which recently got a big funding boost, the enforcement officers will be on the South Bank too. It's worth remembering the new Humber Bridge toll system is also a talking point for regular travellers. Here are the planned locations over there:

• Monday, August 18: B1450 Burringham Road, Scunthorpe
• Tuesday, August 19: A46 Weelsby Road, Grimsby
• Wednesday, August 20: A180 between Great Coates junction and Pyewipe roundabout
• Thursday, August 21: M180/West of River Trent
• Friday, August 22: Trentside, Derrythorpe
• Saturday, August 23: Various sites across the region
• Sunday, August 24: Various sites across the region

It's not just about the listed spots

It's really important to remember that this list is just a guide. The whole point is that you could see a camera van anywhere. The Humberside Police and their partners want drivers to be careful everywhere, not just on the roads they've announced. Think about all the different things happening across East Yorkshire. You might have people travelling to see a band on an employment tour, or someone might be attempting one of those incredible ultra marathons from Hull to Southport. There's always something going on, which means the roads are always busy.

Local news often covers a wide range of topics that show how active the community is, from a planning meeting about a new development to a feel-good story about a secret teddy giveaway spreading a bit of happiness. The enforcement officers are there to make sure all these everyday activities can happen as safely as possible. Sticking to the speed limit means the roads are safer for everyone, whether they're going to work or just popping to the shops.

Keeping the community safe is the real goal

At the end of the day, this isn't just about cameras and tickets. It's about community safety. The reason these mobile speed cameras exist is to prevent accidents and protect people. It's the same principle behind why people get together to make sure their local parks are safe, or why a story about a family's living conditions in a council flat gets people talking. Everyone wants to live in a region that feels safe and secure.

When you find yourself driving around Hull or anywhere in East Yorkshire, the best advice is simply to drive as if there could be a speed camera around any corner. Because, well, there could be. By sticking to the limits, you're not just avoiding a fine; you're playing a part in making the roads safer for the entire community. It's a small action that makes a big difference to everyone's well-being.
