	News: Wide Area SPECS type camera trials start in London According to this article in the Evening Standard, trials of a new type of speed camera that operates both as a standard speed camera AND as a wide area SPECS type average speed camera have started on the A13 in London. Unlike standard SPECS which operate along clearly defined stretches, the new cameras, equipped with wireless networking (though this sounds a little suspect, GSM technology is more likely), communicate with each other and are able to track a vehicle across any area in which they are deployed. This technology could be used to enforce a blanket speed limit across a wide area with any driver whose average speed between two cameras exceeded the limit receiving a fine. Ken Livingstone wants London councils to make 20mph the default speed because research shows reduced accident levels when lower speed limits are enforced. Of course if we all reverted to walking then road accidents could be completely eliminated but this is yet another example of motorists being singled out as a source of revenue. The London Safety Camera Partnership has confirmed that the cameras will not be used to actively enforce limits during the trial and no fines will be issued from them during the test period.
