Watch out for average speed cameras in London

Speeding motorists who slow down for cameras face a new threat as Britain's first urban average speed traps are switched on in the capital. Eighty-four new cameras are being placed on the A13 to the east ofLondon in a bid to reduce the high accident rate on the commuter route. They check speeds at 37 locations along a seven-and-a-half-mile stretch of the road. Any motorists who let their speed creep above the limit between Canning Town and the Goresbrook Interchange could face a £60 fine and three points on their licence.
