One driver a day caught by cameras
7:31am Wednesday 13th August 2008 in
Only about one person a day has been caught speeding by cameras on a Hampshire motorway.
Figures show that since February 175 drivers have been caught by the average speed cameras in roadworks between junctions three and four and 11 and 12 of the M27.
Meanwhile it has been revealed that the speed cameras between the Fareham and Portsmouth junctions at junctions 11 and 12 have ben removed.
The cameras, which are yellow in colour, have been catching speeders while widening work has been going on .
The cameras measure a vehicle's average speed over a set distance.
Costing £18 million, a mile-and-a-quarter stretch of the M27 had been widened to create a new lane for lorries going uphill.
Similar widening work is taking place between junctions three and four at Southampton and is expected to finish early next year.
