Transport for London is looking for a commercial partner for average speed camera trials across whole urban areas.
TfL published a notice in the Official Journal of the European Union on 10 August, saying that it will use the cameras as a trial to "enforce average speed limits in urban areas".
A TFL spokesperson told public-sector IT mag Government Computing News, however, that there were no firm plans for the trial as yet. "We are just looking to see who will apply at the moment," she said.
Apparently the tender is part of a ‘wider plan’, but no proper announcements on the project will be made until October at the earliest.
TfL did, however, say this: "We believe that speed cameras reduce the number of accidents on roads and save us money. For instance, cameras can be used as an alternative to road humps."
