ANPR cameras to be installed across different areas in Derbyshire to gain information on driver behaviour and journey times.
The ANPR cameras are being installed from Monday 5th September in order to monitor traffic, to improve air quality, as Derbyshire City Council have a plan to reduce harmful toxins in the atmosphere (roadside NO2 project).
The data that is gathered by these cameras will help to understand how vehicles travel around the city, the journey times and how travelling impacts pollution in Derby. The ANPR cameras will also help to gather information on how to make improvements to road that not just benefits vehicles but cyclists and pedestrians too.
The Roadside N02 Project has already seen significant changes made to key junctions including Stafford Street.
Steve Hassall, cabinet member for regeneration, decarbonisation, strategic planning and transport, said: “For most of our residents, travelling is an everyday need so it’s important that we’re making this as quick and easy as possible however people decide to travel. However, we also have a duty to protect our environment and reduce harmful emissions that particularly impact pedestrians and cyclists.”
