Two new speed cameras have been installed on the A46 near Stratford-upon-Avon.

Warwickshire Police confirmed on Friday (July 3) the new multi-directional automatic speed cameras were in place on the stretch of road heading towards Alcester.

Police said between 2021 and 2025, there have been three fatal, eight serious and 22 slight injury collisions on this stretch of road, classifying it as a 'high harm route'.

The majority of these collisions were found after investigation to be caused by road users "failing to look properly or failing to judge the other person's path or speed".

Inspector Dave Valente, lead for the partnership's Safer Speeds Working Group, which also includes National Highways, Warwickshire County Council and the Police and Crime Commissioner's Office said: "Reducing excess speed in Warwickshire is a priority for us, because more than half of all fatal collisions nationally involve speed as a contributing factor.

"Working alongside our communities through initiatives like Community Speed Watch, as well as our mobile enforcement teams, we use a visible presence on our roads to encourage safer speeds and help educate drivers on the law.

"However, in some high‑risk locations, only a static enforcement device can ensure that speed limits are consistently respected."
