From fixed to average, mobile to red light, there are hundreds of speed cameras active across south Wales at any one time. But are there any on the Prince of Wales Bridge?
Speeding is one of the largest contributing factors to collisions on Welsh roads according to GoSafe - a partnership made up of authorities including the Welsh Government and Wales emergency services.
Not only is it dangerous but it can land you a fine and points on your licence.
Penalty for speeding
The minimum penalty for speeding is a £100 fine and three penalty points added to your licence.
Seven common speed camera myths
In certain circumstances, drivers will be eligible to attend a Driver Education Course, which will incur a cost, but you will not have penalty points added to your licence.
So with speed cameras scattered across south Wales, you may be wondering if there are any located on the Prince of Wales Bridge to watch out for.
