Speed cameras could return to the Black Country.
The move - which could see the devices rolled out across Dudley, Walsall, Sandwell and Wolverhampton - comes following a successful trail in other areas of the West Midlands.
It comes after it emerged eight speed cameras have caught 23,334 motorists since being switched on across Birmingham and Solihull just 12 months ago.
The new figures show the cameras - which cost more than £1 million to install - are flashing an average of 64 speeders every day.
One camera, on Bristol Road, caught more than 6,000 motorists whilst a speed trap on Coventry Road flashed just 165, the office of the West Midlands Crime Commissioner has revealed.
The Birmingham Mail understands a ‘rotational system’ is used in the enforcement of the cameras, with police hoping they act as more of a deterrent to racing motorists.
The cameras were paid for by a partnership between Birmingham City Council, Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council, West Midlands Police and the region’s Police and Crime Commissioner.
West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner David Jamieson said: “Speed is one of the biggest causes of deaths on the road and one of the biggest issues that local people raise with me on a daily basis.
“What we are doing now is talking to the other councils in the Black Country and Coventry as well, to see if those councils also want that type of speeding enforcement on the roads.
“They can provide the hardware, we will do the enforcement and that will make life safer for all road users.
“If other local councils want speed cameras, I will ensure West Midlands Police enforce them."
Chief Inspector Kerry Blakeman added: “We will then take a view from other local authorities to see how they wish to proceed."
