Stealth cameras on the way…
Speed cameras to catch motorists driving in excess of 70mph are to be installed along motorways for the first time.
So-called stealth cameras – which may be grey rather than bright yellow – will be placed on stretches of some of the busiest routes, including the M1, M6 and M25.
Previously, motorway speed cameras have been situated mainly on stretches undergoing roadworks, in order to enforce variable speed limits for safety reasons.
Some ‘safety camera partnerships’ have also placed them in vans parked on bridges above the carriageway.
