The number of people killed or seriously injured at sites where safety cameras are in use in north Essex has dramatically fallen.
The results come from an independent report evaluating the first three years of the safety camera scheme and coincide with the publication of details of every site where a camera may be used.
It includes data on the reasons for their approval and the impact they have had on casualties.
The results table shows information for 17 camera sites in Colchester, ten for Clacton, ten for Chelmsford, five for Witham, two for Braintree, one for Danbury, one for Great Dunmow and two for Wickham Bishops.
It shows the number of people killed or seriously injured per kilometre at each site over three years before a camera was set up, and how many of the same category accidents have been at the sites since.
