The Arrive Alive partnership is about casualty reduction, not detecting speeding offences. In North Wales between January 1998 and December 2001 there were 10,631 personal injury collisions.

	222 people were killed
	1,503 people were seriously injured
	15,908 people were slightly injured
	2,333 children were killed or injured

Speed was a major factor in:

	1 in 3 collisions where someone was killed
	1 in 4 collisions where someone was seriously injured

Road casualty trials were introduced in eight partnership areas across the UK – South Wales, Strathclyde, Nottinghamshire, Thames Valley, Northamptonshire, Essex, Cleveland and Lincolnshire. Research at these sites showed that additional safety cameras:

	Reduced the number of people killed or seriously injured by 47%
	Reduced speeding by 71%
	Reduced the number of vehicles exceeding the speed limit by more than 15mph by 80%
