Speed Cameras on M25 Now in OperationDoubtless of little concern to responsible drivers, it's nevertheless worth noting that speed cameras along the Surrey stretch of the M25 are now being used to enforce speed limits, having only previously been used for traffic management.

The cameras, which are positioned behind the electronic speed signs on overhead gantries, were installed in the 1990s and later upgraded in 2009 enabling them to enforce speed limits.

It is only now that the decision has finally been taken by the Surrey Safety Camera Partnership (comprising Surrey County Council, Surrey Police, the Highways Agency and Her Majesty's Court Service) to bring the enforcement function into immediate effect.

    Is it OK to set limits totally innappropriate to the circumstaces and then speed trap everyone driving safely. Qualified drivers adapt their speed to conditions. Most of these variable speed limits appear totally arbitrary with no actual reason for them, except when traffic is heavy. Often the jams are caused by the speed limits, particularly at the M25 southbound junction with the M3. Totally cynical speed traps, not Smart.
