Good grief, don't tell anyone in Whitehall, they'll have it relocated to
earn more money within weeks.

Seriously, it is good to hear that there are some places that are using
them for their intended purpose.

In Carlisle recently, the police setup a group of traffic officers with
mobile cameras in various places. From memory, there were about 10
locations, only 2 of them outside of 30mph zones. It was deemed a
success and as a result are to be putting in permanent cameras. Let's
hope they continue their logical thinking and put them in places where
they will aid road safety, and not just fill the coffers.
