New average speed cameras have been deployed for the first time on a French motorway and began testing today ahead of full use from 1st August.
The 'radars-tronçon' have been installed on a stretch of the N57 and are being targeted at accident prone road sections and roads close to tunnels and bridges.
French road safety agency Sécurité Routière hopes the cameras will stop speeding drivers slowing down for fixed speed cameras before accelerating but motoring organisations criticised them claiming that they were designed to make money.
As in the UK, unlucky motorists who fall foul of the new cameras will find out when the fine arrives in the post.
