AI cameras aim to increase safety at crash hotspot

Wells Journal

September 04, 2025

ASOMERSET crash hotspot is getting ‘Al cameras in a bid to stop dangerous driving.

‘The state-of-the-art cameras will be stationed on the A361 Frome Bypass - and are said to be able to detect drivers using mobile phones and not wearing seatbelts.

‘The road has seen six fatalities in the last five years - four of these between 2023 and 2024.
