West Yorkshire Speed Camera Location

Nearest Town/village: Wakefield
Road Name: M1 - Junctions 39 - 40
Direction of Camera: Northbound and Southbound
Speed Limit: 70mph

Speed Camera Details: There are two Hadecs3 cameras at junctions J40 and J39 southbound, both are a mile to half a mile BEFORE the junction, one is on the gantry, another - sort of standalone not far from to the electronic road sign.

There are also two exactly the same cameras northbound, AFTER J39 and J40, again about a mile-ish away. Don't quite remember if they're both on gantries or one is standalone.

Both are obviously rear facing and already fully operational (have already seen them flashing - very bright! - on the opposite side of the road).

Camera reference number: YWY101

HADECS 3 which is short for Highway Agency Digital Enforcement Camera System 3 is one the newest speed cameras to be installed on UK roads.

The cameras are small in size, often painted grey and are therefore very difficult to spot. HADECS 3 speed cameras are currently being installed in smart motorway locations on some of the UKs busiest motorways including the M1, M6 and M25.
