London drivers face new hi-tech speed cameras and 20mph zones – standard.co.uk

A million tickets a year are set to be issued to speeding motorists in London following a massive expansion of 20mph limits and the roll-out of new speed cameras.
Transport for London is planning to almost treble the number of main roads limited to 20mph and wants a “significant increase” in the capacity of the Met police to catch and fine drivers who exceed the limit.
The Met recorded 362,731 road traffic offences in six months between last April and November, up 34 per cent, or 92,519 offences, on the same period in 2020.
Of these, 76 per cent of offences were for breaking the speed limit – almost 40,000 a month.
