The use of average-speed cameras in residential streets is nearing reality, as the Home Office confirmed that it would be approving SPECS3 camera technology (Feb 09). Transport for London claims time-over-distance cameras are essential for the successful implementation of 20mph zones.

Clusters of speed cameras that will monitor drivers’ average speed on all routes across a wide area are to be deployed on hundreds of roads next year. It will be impossible to evade detection because the digital cameras will cover every entry and exit point. Drivers who slow down briefly or who make a detour from the main route will still be caught because up to 50 of the cameras will work together in a network. They can be positioned more than 15 miles apart and will automatically read numberplates and transmit data instantly to a penalty processing centre
