Speed cameras: rumours of their death have been greatly exaggerated. Two years ago we were reporting on the number of road safety partnerships switching off their speed cameras – now the Highways Agency has revealed a new system that will offer more cost-effective motorway monitoring.
Though officially called Hadecs3 – Highways Agency digital enforcement camera system – the mainstream national press has already dubbed the new speed cameras ‘stealth cameras’, on the basis that they are small and grey, rather than bright yellow.
The press – notably the Daily Mail – has also suggested that the cameras are part of a new plan to enforce the 70mph motorway. Having spoken to the Highways Agency, MSN Cars can officially confirm that they are no such thing. They are instead simply an upgrade to the existing ‘smart motorway’ system.see more
