A speed camera is to be activated this week in one of Leicestershire’s busiest roads.

The news emerged as the county's safety camera bosses released details of the next step in their plans to convert red light cameras into ones which also enforce speed.

Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Safety Camera Partnership announced in January that it would be establishing five ‘speed on green’ cameras at places where analysis of traffic has shown drivers regularly exceed the limit.

Speed on green cameras are devices that formerly only caught motorists who ran red lights but have been adapted to also catch those flouting speed restrictions.

Partnership spokesman Jonathan Clarkson said speed on green cameras had already been activated on the A47 Hinckley Road in Leicester and Redhill Way in Birstall.

He said: “Due to technical and commissioning issues with the new digital technology, our other three speed on green cameras haven’t been operational.

"However, the Glen Hills Way camera will become operational this week.”

Glen Hills Way divides Aylestone and Eyres Monsell, and links Soar Valley Way with Attlee Way.

The other two sites yet to come online are on the A5460 Narborough Road at the junction with Fullhurst Avenue, and the A6 St Margaret's Way at Ravensbridge Drive.

Leicestershire's roads are also patrolled by mobile speed camera vans.
