Operation Snap

We are working with road safety partners across Greater Manchester on Vision Zero – a plan to end deaths and life-changing injuries on our roads by 2040 and alongside partners, we are committed to reducing the number of fatal and serious collisions on our roads, ensuring everyone can travel safely. 

Since the launch of our dashcam submission portal, road users have continued to use this, which has seen a steady increase in the number of submissions.

Specially trained staff review each clip and outcomes can range from warning letters to action from the central ticket office in terms of fines and further prosecution, each outcome in terms of whether further action or no action was taken communicated directly to the person submitting the report further down the line. Other reports are used as key evidence for ongoing intelligence.

Reports made relate to:

The ‘Close Pass’ of cyclists

The manner of driving including no seatbelt, use of a mobile phone or running a red light.

Speeding offences

Using the hard shoulder or irresponsible parking through obstruction by blocking junctions and pavements.
