Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council is a member of the South Wales Safety Camera Partnership. The partnership was formed in April 2000 and later extended to include Mid and South East Wales in April 2002.

The national Safety Camera Programme provides financial support for the operation of speed and red light cameras, from fixed fines paid by offenders.
Safety cameras help reduce collisions, casualties and deaths on the roads, by encouraging drivers and riders to keep within speed limits.
Safety cameras complement other measures to improve road safety, including physical measures to make roads safer, introduction of 20 mph/home zones and public information programmes.
