Roadside risk management, powered by insurance

We're building on the fantastic work undertaken by the current Community Speedwatch programme. Speed.watch is a new, parallel programme that will work directly with the insurance industry to make a material difference to road safety.

On-site teams

Local volunteers and paid reps with radar guns and hi-vis jackets monitor road speeds

Rich Data stream

The data collected represents a new, accessible road safety dataset for the motor insurance industry.

Behaviour Nudges

Speed warning letters provide drivers with a timely reminder that speed costs lives, changing behaviour for good.

Insurer Collaboration

Insurance stakeholders analyse the data and support more safer driving nudges.

UK's richest driver behaviour dataset

Speed.watch delivers a scalable, sustainable means for the motor insurance industry to influence road safety. By augmenting and resourcing a sibling to the existing, and successful police-collaborative programmes in operation, more of the UK can be covered by this unique behavioural nudge.

Speed exceedances, but also behavioural improvement

Track not just violations but community engagement outcomes - speed reduction, repeat offenders, and measurable safety improvements.

Hyper-local datasets for risk teams

Granular, street-level intelligence on driver behaviour in residential areas - data that doesn't exist anywhere else.

Real data

Captured by trained community volunteers using calibrated radar equipment - auditable, defensible, and compliant with safety standards.

Co-created infrastructure

Purpose-built platform enhancements to deliver outsized risk management impacts.

Building the coalition

Partner with local, on the ground teams making a defined impact on driver behaviour and road safety. Opportunities to join data analysis projects, as well as sponsor new road safety pods across the UK. We're building a future with even safer roads, and less distress on public resources.

Law Enforcement

Local police forces benefit, offering reduced burden on the public purse.

Motor Insurers

Access to rich data sets and a new vector to improve underlying road risk.

Industry Bodies

Industry bodies with a mandate for member impact and motor insurance enforcement.

Steering & Advisory

This campaign is powered by The49, Adjacent Systems, and selected third party experts.
