Community SpeedWatch

Agreed on 1 December 2021. Updated on 4 June 2025

Community SpeedWatch (CSW) is a traffic monitoring initiative that enables local residents to help educate road users about the impact of speed on their neighbourhoods.

The aim of CSW is to make motorists who speed through residential neighbourhoods aware of the impact their actions have on local residents, or the danger they pose to other road users and pedestrians. This is something we are working with communities to address.

Join CSW

To find out if there is a CSW Scheme in your area, or request to set one up, email CommunitySpeedWatch@avonandsomerset.police.uk.
