West Midlands Police has published the full schedule of locations for its mobile speed camera vans across Birmingham for the month of February 2026. The enforcement initiative aims to tackle speeding, which remains one of the so-called 'Fatal Five' driving offences that contribute significantly to road accidents and fatalities.
Comprehensive Enforcement Strategy
The Camera Enforcement Unit of West Midlands Police has identified 48 specific sites where mobile speed cameras will be operational throughout the month. This targeted approach forms part of a broader road safety strategy designed to protect all road users across the Birmingham metropolitan area.
Key Locations for Speed Enforcement
The enforcement will focus on multiple major routes and residential areas where speeding has been identified as a particular concern. Police data indicates these locations have either experienced higher incidents of speeding or are areas where reduced speeds are crucial for pedestrian safety.
Major Road Networks Under Surveillance
A34 Corridor: Multiple points along Stratford Road and Walsall Road will see regular enforcement, including sections between Wycome Road and Robin Hood Island, and areas near Cliveden Avenue.
A4040 Ring Road: Extensive coverage along this important circular route includes Bromford Lane in both directions between Washwood Heath Road and Fairholme Road, Fox Hollies Road between School Road and Olton Boulevard, and Harborne Lane between Gibbins Road and Quinton Road.
Additional Strategic Points: Enforcement will also occur on A38 Bristol Road South near South Road, A452 Chester Road approaching Pype Hayes Road in Erdington, and A453 College Road in both directions toward Aldridge Road and Chester Road.
Residential and Local Road Focus
The operation extends beyond major arteries to include residential areas where community safety is paramount. Locations such as B4114 Washwood Heath Road at Lime Tree Road, B4120 Lickey Road in Rednal between Bristol Road South and Lowhill Lane, and B4151 Streetly Lane between Crown Lane and Highbury Road in Sutton Coldfield will all see mobile enforcement.

Road Safety Context
Speeding continues to be identified by West Midlands Police as one of the 'Fatal Five' driving behaviours that most contribute to serious and fatal collisions. The other four offences include drink-driving, failure to wear seatbelts, using mobile phones or devices while driving, and careless or inconsiderate driving.
The mobile camera deployment represents a proactive approach to road safety, using intelligence-led policing to target areas where speeding presents the greatest risk to public safety. Regular rotation of enforcement locations helps maintain a visible deterrent across the city while addressing specific problem areas identified through traffic data and community feedback.
Motorists are reminded that speed limits exist for safety reasons, and compliance helps protect all road users, including pedestrians, cyclists, and other drivers. The February 2026 enforcement schedule demonstrates West Midlands Police's ongoing commitment to reducing road casualties through targeted, visible enforcement measures.
