Currently reading: M25 speed cameras to go digital

M25 speed cameras will go digital from February 15th

The Highways Agency has confirmed rumours that speed cameras located along the most western stretch of the M25 are to go digital on February 15.The cameras currently in place are run off film, meaning that they can only take a limited number of pictures before the film runs out and the camera stops working. Converting them to digital allows as many photos as necessary to be stored.The Highways Agency is also planning to alter road markings on the motorway to give a more accurate basis for speed readings, and will reduce the speed at which the cameras are triggered from 90mph to 79mph, when the variable speed limit on the road is 70mph.
