The shortlisted sites in Bristol, Great Yarmouth, Keighley and Rubery were chosen based on a number of factors, including the ability to use existing infrastructure and street furniture, and the type of vehicle noise problem at each site in order to achieve a sufficiently wide range of road types to test the noise camera technology. The current trials completed on 1 February, with data from the trials being evaluated later this year. If the trials prove to be successful, noise cameras may be considered for wider rollout.
