It comes following reports that new speed cameras in Devon have caught more than 3,000 speeding drivers in the first few days of them going live. The four new high-tech bi-directional speed cameras have only been in operation for just over a week.
But already in total, the four cameras – which have been operational for between seven and 15 days - have detected 3,280 speeding offences. One of the cameras has been activated about 120 times per day in the first two weeks, while another detected a driver travelling at 73mph on a 30mph road.
