UK road marking specialist WJ has been appointed as delivery partner for the installation of the 3M Temporary Automatic Speed Camera at Roadworks (TASCAR) system for the enforcement of mandatory speed limits at roadworks within the UK temporary traffic management sector.

The UK Home Office type approved (HOTA) camera system has already been deployed in permanent applications both in the UK and abroad and is also suitable as an automated time over distance speed enforcement solution. Providing reliable long term operation in a variety of operating environments, the camera system is linked through a 3G or GPRS wireless connection to generate full violation records.

Average speed cameras have been used in the past by a few UK counties but are now a preferred choice within motorway roadworks, especially where narrow lanes and contraflows affect safety. According to WJ, it is widely accepted that these systems can help manage traffic speeds to protect vulnerable highway workers as well as providing smoother traffic flows.

Cities are about people – a fact that can easily be forgotten when experts talk about roads, healthcare and education as though they are abstract and unconnected monoliths rather than things people use. Understanding how and why people use services is vital for making decisions on how they can be optimised for maximum efficiency across inter-connected networks that for
