Road Safety Measures Grant Scheme

Road Safety Measures Grant Scheme

Speed Indicator Devices (SIDs) offer traffic management solutions which reduce vehicle speeds and create safer and cleaner roads. These electric signs display a speed or message when triggered by vehicles travelling at excessive speeds. 

The previous SIDs Grant Scheme was designed to provide additional funding to enable other locations to install SIDs and improve road safety across the Humber.  Since its successful implementation, the OPCC has been keen to expand the SIDs Grant scheme to include the installation of AutoSpeedWatch ANPR cameras and Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) ANPR cameras. 

The Road Safety Measures Grant Scheme takes the SIDs Scheme a step further by enabling applicants to also apply for number plate recognition systems to target speeding motorists and HGVs not abiding by weight restrictions.

AutoSpeedWatch cameras are designed to capture those that are offending.   It is an educational tool which results in the production of letters initially followed by potential police action.  It guides enforcement to target locations or specific vehicles appropriately, whilst being an effective deterrent by its presence. 

Available Funding

The RSM Grant Scheme has a budget of up to £40,000 available until end of March 2027.

The RSM Grant Scheme can provide a maximum contribution of up to 50% of the costs of the following:

• Purchase and installation of a Speed Indicator Device, AutoSpeedWatch ANPR Camera or AutoHGVWatch ANPR Camera
• Installation of a post, where no provision exists
• Purchase and installation of appropriate signage

Applicants must have agreement in writing from the relevant Local Authority for the proposed Speed Indicator Device prior to application.
