Speed Cameras

Post by NigelJ » Fri Oct 31, 2003 2:09 pm

This may not be news to some, but there are new SPECS cameras on the M4 between J12 and 14/15. These are the new digital types which clock your average speed between 2 points and use no radar so are not picked up with conventional detectors. They also don't flash. I guess Morpheus, etc will get them.

The new motorway signs have been designed to accommodate closed circuit television cameras. These cameras will be used by the Highways Agency to assess the effectiveness of the new signs by monitoring traffic flow and movement patterns in response to the driver information messages set on the signs. Real-time images from these cameras will also be available to Thames Valley Police at their motorway control office, offering additional aid to locating and managing incidents on the motorway more swiftly and helping to set the new signs more promptly and accurately. The cameras will not be used for speed enforcement.
