West Midlands Police has released its schedule for mobile speed camera van operations across Birmingham for the first month of 2026. The data, published on the force's Camera Enforcement Unit website, details where the enforcement vehicles will be stationed throughout January.
Full List of Enforcement Sites
The comprehensive list covers numerous key routes and residential areas across the city. The locations are specifically chosen based on areas of concern for speeding and road safety. The police have confirmed that the vehicles will be posted at these sites throughout the month to monitor motorists' speeds.
The detailed schedule for January 2026 includes enforcement on major arteries and local roads. Key routes featured are the A34 Stratford Road, A34 Walsall Road, A38 Bristol Road South, and the A4040 ring road at multiple points including Bromford Lane, Fox Hollies Road, and Harborne Lane. Other significant locations include the A45 Small Heath Highway, A452 Chester Road in Erdington, and A453 College Road.
Neighbourhood and Residential Road Monitoring
In addition to main roads, the operation will also focus on several well-used local routes. This includes Eachelhurst Road, Kingsbury Road, Ridgacre Road in Quinton, Stechford Lane, Tynedale Road, and Yardley Wood Road. The presence on these streets highlights the police's commitment to tackling speeding in communities, not just on high-speed dual carriageways.
The list clearly indicates the direction of travel being monitored, such as "towards Chester Road" or "between" specific landmarks, providing precise detail for drivers. For example, enforcement is scheduled on Heartlands Parkway between Star City and Bromford Lane, and on Washwood Heath Road at Lime Tree Road.
Staying Informed and Driving Safely
The publication of this data serves as a clear reminder for all Birmingham drivers to observe speed limits at all times. The primary aim of mobile speed camera vans is to improve road safety and reduce accidents, not simply to issue penalties. By making the locations public, West Midlands Police encourages compliance through awareness.
Motorists are advised to check the official West Midlands Police Camera Enforcement Unit website for the most current information, as schedules can be subject to change. The best practice for avoiding a fine and, more importantly, causing an accident, is to always drive within the legal speed limit, regardless of whether a camera van is suspected to be present.
