By holding motorists down to lower top speeds at peak times, the DfT believes that this stop-start effect can be prevented and the traffic kept moving, so yielding better journey times for all - and obviating the need to build more road.


So it's yet another attempt to save money by putting off building roads (thus increasing the problem for the future) and a quick snatch attempt to actually make MORE money off road users trying to get home from work - targetting those who are the backbone of the economy!

I've noticed a set of SPECS cameras have gone up on the M25 travelling from J28 (A12) round to J27 (M11).

I saw those a while ago. There only appears to be the one set though, and I thought SPECS had to operate in pairs to workout speed over the distance between cameras. Unless the cameras at the start or end of 'the distance' are better hidden...
