Cameras, Data and Protecting Communities, with Tom Duckham

James Luckhurst sits down with Tom Duckham, Chief Executive of Redspeed International, for a conversation about technology, enforcement, career journeys, and what it really takes to make a lasting difference in road safety.Tom’s road into the industry was anything but conventional. As he puts it, a youth spent as a motorcycle dispatch rider meant he “saw things… that I wish I could unsee now”, experiences that quietly planted the seed for a lifelong commitment to reducing death and injury on the roads.From his early days installing London’s first speed cameras in the early 1990s, through the era of camera partnerships, media battles, and evolving public attitudes, Tom talks openly about the challenges and misconceptions surrounding enforcement. Throughout, Tom stresses the importance of partnership over product, summed up in Redspeed’s new strapline: “Safer Roads, Smarter Solutions, Protecting Communities.”Find out more about Project EDWARD here.Welcome to the Project EDWARD Podcast, where we explore data-driven actions for safe mobility.
