Average speed enforcement (ASE) camera
彩霸王论坛, Solihull Metropolitan Council and West Midlands Police now operate an Average Speed Enforcement (ASE) camera system.
This new system replaced the old, obsolete wet film safety cameras.
The introduction of the ASE system is intended to positively influence driver behaviour and ensure that drivers comply with the set limits on roads; thus providing a safer environment for everyone who uses the roads.
The ASE cameras will detect vehicles and calculate their average speed by measuring the time taken to travel between fixed points.

The aims of the introducing these new cameras are to:
- improve road safety and reduce the number of people killed or seriously injured in road collisions
- improve driver behaviour improvement over a greater area
- improve compliance with speed limits

If you are caught speeding above a certain limit your case will be heard at Magistrates Court. If you are found guilty any fine imposed goes to the treasury. If you are eligible for a speed awareness course any surplus from the course goes towards road safety initiatives in Birmingham and Solihull which includes covering the operating costs for the speed enforcement team.
