Following the initial tests at the Blackwall Tunnel and Camden, more extensive trials of the new “Wi-Fi” speed cameras are being carried out on the A13 between Canning Town and Gorsebrook.

The time elapsed cameras monitor traffic in all lanes and throughout the whole of the 5 mile section and have the ability to calculate speed at any point between cameras, thus tracking the vehicle at all stages on the journey.

The 5 month trial will not result in any prosecutions via this equipment, which is not yet Home Office approved, although motorists would be wise to remember that there are standard Gatso cameras on this section as well, which remain live and effective.

If successful, it is anticipated that the cameras will be used to enforce the blanket 20 mph speed limit that Ken Livingstone intends to impose throughout residential London should he be re-elected.
