Amazing arrogance. We (the citizens) must be controlled, and technology is the way this will be achieved.

The paper does not even stoop to question how much more 'enforcement' we really need on the grounds of safety..!

Very sad. Mostly that we are sleep walking into a situation we should be much more concerned about that most people are....

We don't need enforcement on the grounds of safety, managed motorways need it to improve traffic flow when speed limits are lowered to reduce congestion.

Please tell me that no one needs to have it explained how slowing down traffic which is approaching a queue of stationery traffic actually speeds things up overall?
ok then: we really need anymore enforcement for that objective to be realised.....note that the points issued on your driving license are not for spoiling the flow of traffic but are to punish 'potentially dangerous transgressions'...

I take it all back. I have seen the light!

Our expert HA teams know whats best for all of us. They should be encouraged to find ever more ways of spending our money on monitoring technology. There is no need to justify the expense after all. More is ALWAYS better smile

The use of the hard shoulder as a live lane is a brilliant idea.

Speed limits are all about emissions.

70mph is far too fast on a clear motorway.

We can't be trusted to obey the signs without 3-layers of speed enforcement.

Oh and once we are used it on smart / managed motorways we should welcome the deployment of this stuff across the whole motorway and trunk road network.
