A new enforcement camera has caught more than 3,000 speeding offences.
The camera sits on the A12 at Martlesham, near Anson Road and Brightwell Lakes, and has monitored the 50mph stretch in both directions since September 2024.
East Suffolk councillor Mark Packard, who represents the Martlesham and Purdis Farm ward, welcomed the impact of the new camera.
Mr Packard said: "I note that speeding prosecutions are similar in number on both northbound and southbound carriageways, but I am particularly impressed that the police were able to follow that up with the number of endorsed licences and retraining courses attended.
"This is how speed cameras should have an impact on individuals who break the rules."
Figures from the Norfolk and Suffolk Safety Camera Partnership showed the camera recorded 3,016 speeding offences after it was switched on in September 2024.
The camera recorded 482 offences in 2024, 1,582 in 2025 and a further 952 in the available 2026 figures.
More than 1,700 drivers have completed retraining courses after being caught at the site, according to additional data.
Mr Packard said speeding appeared to be falling each year, possibly because of new traffic lights serving Brightwell Lakes.
But he said drivers still breaking the 50mph limit put those obeying it in danger.
In 2025, the camera recorded 631 northbound speeding offences and 951 southbound.
The available 2026 figures were closer, with 461 offences northbound and 491 southbound.
Between January 2023 and March 2026, the site recorded 309 northbound and 245 southbound red-light offences.
The camera is a Jenoptik Vector SR.
Year-on-year comparisons are unreliable because the camera only operated from September 2024 and the available data does not say whether the 2026 figures cover a full year.
