Cohort company 662 SEA’s ROADflow camera technology for monitoring traffic has led to major improvements in safety and reductions in traffic congestion for the London Borough of Enfield, says the company.

Enfield installed the system nearly three years ago in an attempt to overcome dangerous and congestion forming behaviours such as drivers doing illegal turns as a rat run, to reduce commuting time, blocking yellow box junctions and driving in bus lanes during operational hours.

Seven ROADflow Flexi bus lane unattended 24/7 devices were installed, with twelve ROADflow Motion unattended 24/7 rapidly re-deployable moving traffic enforcement devices, to identify incidents such as banned manoeuvres and box junctions and enforce other parking contraventions.

According to SEA, the switch from attended to unattended bus lane camera enforcement has led to a twenty-fold rise in detected offences, along with a 50 per cent increase across the whole spectrum of traffic infringements.
