🚦 Exciting news for Swansea! New AI-powered speed cameras are on the horizon to make our roads safer. These smart road signs specifically target speeding motorbikes, giving riders a clear message to “slow down” if they’re over the limit. 🌐
Here’s the scoop: This trial on Carmarthen Road has a meaningful purpose, after two tragic accidents involving motorbikes in the area. The cutting-edge technology will use AI and thermal imaging to distinguish bikes from other vehicles, aiming to curb speed demons and reduce accidents.
South Wales Police have been investing big in tech to improve safety, including facial recognition systems that have already led to 93 arrests! Now, Swansea’s trying out this new gadgetry, hoping it can cut down on the 15% of vehicle collisions involving motorbikes.
The trial is backed by a Welsh Government Road Safety Grant, and if it works well, expect these AI wizards to pop up in 20 more hotspots! 🚲💨
Councillor Andrew Stevens has high hopes, saying it’s a chance to inform riders better and promote safer behaviour on the roads. Let’s make Swansea a safer place, one smart sign at a time. 🙌
