Yes, it works quite successfully on that stretch of the M25 that is already the most congested road in the UK. The caveat of course is that people have to stick to the variable speed limit. There are speed cameras hidden behind some of the overhead gantries on this stretch of motorway, and it is in these specific applications that I think sophisticated speed detection is completely justified. There should be actively used speed cameras on every gantry within a variable speed limit zone, because if people stick to the limits they really do work.
Looks like our discussion has just saved the UK £7 Billion. Do you think we'll qualify for a commission?
