 The Committee has obtained a quote for the equipment |
Guernsey is set to get speed cameras. The President of the Home Affairs Committee, Deputy Mike Torode, says the committee has obtained a quote for the equipment and intend to act upon it soon.
He says they are looking at a fairly flexible system to make sure people get caught for speeding.
Speed cameras for the island were just one of the issues debated at Guernsey's pedestrian safety groups' monthly meeting.
Penalty points
The introduction of traffic wardens on bicycles and enforcing lower speed limits were also on the agenda at Tuesday's meeting.
Stop Traffic Endangering Pedestrian Safety (STEPS) put questions to Guernsey's President of Home Affairs, asking Deputy Torode what progress has been made during the past year.
The17 questions related mainly to speeding traffic, pavement parking and pavement driving in Guernsey.
Issues up for discussion went back to November 2001, when Guernsey's Police said they were in favour of penalty points and fixed cameras.
STEPS also wanted to know if Guernsey would be able to introduce a system of P plates for newly-qualified drivers, like that adopted in Australia.
