The number of people fined for speeding offences in South Wales has tripled, according to new figures released by the Ministry of Justice.
The force area saw one of the biggest increases in England and Wales with 6,491 fined in 2013, compared to 2,181 three years earlier.
The 115,000 fined for speeding is the highest number since 2009.
A speed camera in Cardiff generated more than an estimated £800,000 worth of fines in just six months.
According to road safety partnership GoSafe Wales, the speed camera on the junction of the city's Newport Road and Colchester Avenue caught 13,624 speeding motorists and a further 146 running red lights between January and June.
The camera was installed in 2012, but only went into fully commissioned operation earlier this year.
