Average speed cameras installed six months ago on A64In February, it was announced that average speed cameras were being installed on the A64 between Bramham Bar and Askham Bar following a series of crashes.

A spokesman said at the time: "The work between Bramham and Tadcaster Bar represents the first phase of the scheme, with a second due to follow on the section between Bramham Bar and Askham Bar."

The spokeswoman said the cameras were temporary features and not connected to an ongoing feasibility study into the potential benefits of introducing fixed speed cameras on the road.
