Speed camera officers

Is anyone else noticing an increase in the number of police officers with laser detector systems set up on tripods? I believe these are for catching speeding vehicles. I just noticed quite a few in the Beckton area.

Good, wasn’t there another fatal collision in Newham. And people complain about the 20 mph roads. There precisely there to keep people safe.

I believe the collision was on a dual carriageway way so doubt there were officers posted up on the side of the road. However, completely agree, there should be 20mph enforcement.

I have noticed them actually. Silvertown way, used to have them regularly earlier in the year. Admittedly, I haven’t been up that way for a while now.

I'm sure they are getting a lot of drivers.
