189 Siemens has recently completed the deployment of the permanent average speed enforcement system across London using its SafeZone technology. Under contract to 1466 Transport for London (TfL), the system operates with more than 120 Sicore ANPR cameras at 80 sites on various key arterial corridors around the Capital including the A40, A406, A2 and A316.

The system is part of a large scale upgrade and expansion of enforcement capabilities to support TfL’s ‘Vision Zero’ approach to road safety which places great importance on the elimination of road danger.

Lilli Matson, TfL’s head of Strategy and Outcome Planning, said: “We are strongly committed to reducing danger on London’s streets, especially that caused by drivers exceeding the speed limit. Ensuring speed compliance along a more extensive length of road, rather than just where a camera is located, can make a big difference in cutting the number of tragic unacceptable collisions, saving more lives and improving air quality.”
