Default Road speed cameras

What is the acronym for those road speed cameras they have on the A14 -
not
the flashing Gatso ones, but rather the type that record your number plate
as you approach and then measure the time taken until you pass the next

one?

Are they scheduled for a more wider roll-out within London?

As people can't just 'dip' their speed as they pass them, making them

harder
to 'cheat' that the Gatso type, are they not likely to be favoured by the
police?


They are Called SPECS cameras. They are a better idea than GATSOs, but not
all roads are suited as they have to contain a stretch of road which does
not have any turnoffs.
