Tod Enforcement Shoots Up The Agenda

摘要

Interest in average time-over-distance (TOD) rather than fixed point-based enforcement cameras is growing fast in the UK as new suppliers enter the Home Office Type Approval (HOTA) process. At the political level, Transport Secretary, Geoff Hoon MP, has recently spoken positively of the possibility of eventually replacing traditional fixed-point cameras by what he hopes that motorists will see as 'fairer' versions, which will also encourage safer driving and reduce fuel consumption.rnAt the still relatively-few locations where they are currently being used in the UK, he told the Sunday Times in an interview that: 'the speed limits are largely observed by motorists'. Department of Transport (DfT) officials have, however, been quick to distance themselves from any early commitment to a wholesale replacement programme.
