Grey ‘stealth’ speed cameras are set to be installed on busy stretches of UK motorways to target motorists driving above the 70mph limit, according to new 2309 Highways Agency (HA) plans. Parts of the M1, M25 and M6 will have the cameras, dubbed ‘stealth’ cameras by those opposing their introduction. Motorway speed cameras have in the past been situated primarily on stretches where roadworks were taking place. The cameras will appear on parts of ‘smart’ motorways and will allow traffic to flow more effectively and prevent jams, according to the HA.
In a UK newspaper article, former Transport Minister John Spellar, who fought a battle to make speed cameras as conspicuous as possible by plastering them with bright yellow paint and insisting they be placed in the open, has accused the Government of caving in to bureaucrats who saw cameras as an easy way of making money from fines.
