‘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.
Avon and Somerset Police and Somerset Council's Road Safety Teams are working in partnership to try to reduce serious collisions on the road, used by about 15,000 vehicles a day.
