You asked
Towards the end of March 2017 multiple yellow Average Speed Cameras have been installed along the M4 motorway between Junction 1 and Junction 4 in both directions passing between Chiswick, Ealing, Brentford, Heston, Hayes & Harlington. They are even on the flyover mounted on top of the road signs central of the flyover at different points. Though I've mentioned the locations. Could you re-confirm the locations of the average speed cameras both on the eastbound and westbound Motorway in the area of J1-J4 M4 Motorway. Could you confirm that these are in fact average speed cameras? -Are these cameras live? -If yes when did they go live? -If no when will they go live? -I would like the go live date confirmed. -Are the camera in sets of 3 or 4? -Are they in pairs? -How many sets are there? ( Do they measure speed at point A and point B or do they measure between point A, B and C) -If you are unable to answer the specifics please tell me who manages the cameras? -What is the distance between the cameras? -Are the camera's calibrated? -Do the average speed camera's each have a calibration certificate? -To better understand the cameras and how they work, what is the model / make / description? -Are these camera permanent? -If no, when will they be removed? -Why have they been installed? -What is the purpose of the cameras? -Why have they been installed? -Where else might the public be able to read about these newly installed cameras? - Are you able to reveal the cost for the installation of these new cameras? - Are you able to reveal how often they will be maintained and the costs of maintenance? - Has there been a forecast of the revenue these cameras might earn through the issuing of speed tickets?
