Camera NIPs (317A/24)
Request
For each fixed speed camera, red light camera, and average or variable speed camera under your jurisdiction, can you give me the number of NIPs (notice of intended prosecutions) handed out. Also include cameras with zero NIP’s handed out in the data.
I want the raw data for 2023 (01/01/23 – 31/13/23), broken down by speed camera.
Please provide whatever the most granular location identifier is for each speed camera.
In dealing with average or variable speed cameras, I appreciate that NIP data may not be attributable to a single camera in the raw data. If this is the case, please provide whatever location identifier(s) you have in the raw data that will allow us to understand where the NIP relates to geographically.
I would like to clarify that I am referring to the first NIP for each offence.

As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into account when interpreting those data.
The figures provided therefore are our best interpretation of relevance of data to your request, but you should be aware that the collation of figures for ad hoc requests may have limitations and this should be taken into account when those data are used.
