The Home Office type-approved solution will be fully integrated to the back- office penalty notice processing facility run by Sussex Safer Roads Partnership.

SafeZone uses automatic number plate recognition technology to identify all vehicles as they enter the enforcement zones. It calculates average speed over a measured distance travelled within the zone, ensuring high compliance to the speed limits and safer traffic flow.

Evidential records are only created for vehicles that exceed the speed limit and are sent remotely to the back -office in-station for processing through a fixed communications network.

    Martyn Harriss looks at what we can do to simplify the type approval of enforcement equipment in Europe. I doubt that there are many who can remember the days when policemen hid in the bushes with stopwatches and flags to catch speeding motorists - and I'd suggest that back then there were few who were caught who would have dared question the accuracy of those watches or those who operated them.
