The Speed Trap: Unveiling Norfolk's Top Speed Camera
Imagine a road, a stretch of tarmac where the temptation to put the pedal to the metal is just too great for some. Well, in Norfolk, we've identified the speed camera that caught the most drivers in 2025, and it's a story that's got everyone talking.
New data has shed light on the county's speed demons, and the results might just surprise you. The stats reveal the number of speeding offences captured by each camera, and for the second year running, one particular camera has taken the top spot.
The A134 Bury Road Camera: A Speedster's Nightmare
Located on the A134 at Thetford, this speed camera has become notorious among local drivers. In 2025, it caught a whopping 2,969 drivers exceeding the speed limit. That's a significant number, but here's where it gets controversial: it's actually a decrease from the previous year, when the camera captured a staggering 4,176 speeding vehicles.
A Closer Look at the Top Offenders
Coming in at a close second is the speed camera on the A10 at West Winch, which caught 1,929 drivers. The A140 Mile End Road in Norwich wasn't far behind, with 1,509 offences recorded. The top five is completed by the cameras on Dereham Road (1,163 offences) and the A140 at Coleman Road (1,131 offences).
A Mixed Reaction from the Community
Terry Jermy, the MP for South West Norfolk, has expressed his satisfaction at the overall decrease in speeding offences. However, he believes there's still work to be done. "I'm glad to see drivers are taking notice and slowing down," he said. "But we can't ignore the fact that these numbers are still too high."
Addressing the Issue: What's Being Done?
Terry Jermy has called for more action, specifically suggesting improved signage to further deter speeders. Norfolk Constabulary has responded, stating that their Safety Camera Team regularly deploys to various sites to encourage safer driving. Their commitment to reducing road casualties in Norfolk and Suffolk remains unwavering.
