Speeding on this stretch of Star Road has become a persistent issue.

Almost everyday other motorists and pedestrians are put at risk by the actions of bad driving. Motorists take advantage of the fact that this section of Star Road is straight and unobstructed.

To combat this we plea that Peterborough City Council and Cambridgeshire Constabulary that a Truvelo D-Cam (which is the latest type of speed camera in the UK) is installed at the top of Burton Street facing north to catch drivers travelling southbound on Star Road from the Saxon Road/Padholme Road area. The money used from prosecuting drivers can be used in driver education schemes and funding the operation of the camera (which is relatively cheap to maintain)

The following is information from https://www.speedcamerasuk.com/truvelo-d-cam.htm

In 2013 a new type of digital Truvelo speed camera was launched, known as D-Cam which is short for Digital Camera. Since that time a number of Police forces and constabularies across the UK have opted to replace many ageing fixed Gatso speed cameras with Truvelo D-Cams. This change from Gatso to Truvelo D-Cam is by far most noticeable in Norfolk where Norfolk Constabulary have installed no less than 27 Truvelo D-Cams.
Unlike the original Truvelo speed camera, the new Truvelo D-cameras can be installed forward or rear facing to approaching traffic. This means they can target the front or rear of passing vehicles. The cost of installation is around £10,000, but have relatively low running costs.

The latest Truvelo cameras named D-Cam are part of a new digital camera range which are mounted to polls at the side or central reservation of the road.
These new digital cameras don't require film, instead the Truvelo D-Cam can either store up to 100,000 digital photos or send the photos in real-time via an ADSL/3G connection to a back office for processing.
If the photos are stored on location, the camera conveniently lowers so the data can be simply downloaded to a laptop or other device to be then processed at the Police authorities or Safety Camera Partnerships offices.

 As well as this it would be nice to see all current speed cameras in the city to be updgraded to Truvelo D-Cameras.
