Police speed camera vans in Birmingham have recorded thousands of speeding offences this year, with ten roads accounting for the highest numbers. New data reveals Fort Parkway, between Spitfire Island and Fort Retail Park near the M6, topped the list with 774 speeding drivers clocked between January and June 2026.
The marked vans, fitted with speed cameras, move around the region and are often seen parked at the side of roads. Officers tend to visit the same roads repeatedly where there are known issues with speeding, turning up weekly or monthly in some cases.
Top 10 roads for speeding offences
According to the latest figures, the ten highest numbers of offences recorded by speed camera vans from January to June 2026 are:
- Fort Parkway, between Spitfire Island and Fort Retail Park – 774

- Eachelhurst Road, Sutton Coldfield, towards Chester Road – 558
- West Boulevard, towards Barnes Hill – 438
- A4040 Bromford Lane, southbound between Fairholme Road and Washwood Heath Road – 356

- A453 College Road, southbound near Epwell Road – 283
Speed limit changes increase risk
Drivers can never be sure where these mobile units will be on any given day or time. The warning to Brummies is more important than ever after most main roads in the city were cut from 40mph to 30mph earlier this year. This increases the chances motorists will be caught out, though they should always look for signage displaying the speed limit.
The city council has also announced plans to eventually reduce speed limits on all smaller, residential roads to 20mph. Police vans can catch motorists off guard, and it might be too late to slow down by the time they spot them.
The data serves as a warning to any drivers breaking the speed limit, as officers continue to target the same roads where speeding is a known problem.
