Artificial intelligence cameras will be trialled at a collision hotspot in a bid to curb dangerous driving.
They will be stationed at Somerset's A361 Frome Bypass, where six people have died in the last five years – four in 2023 and 2024 alone.
AI cameras, which are already being used around major roads in England, can detect illegal mobile phone use and careless driving as well as failure to wear a seatbelt.
Those caught driving dangerously are to be sent warning letters, fined or prosecuted.
Somerset MP Anna Sabine, who has campaigned for improved road safety on the Frome Bypass, said she was pleased with the new measures.
