Motorists face a new speed camera blitz and £100 fines as 20mph limits
are imposed on some of Britain’s busiest roads.
Until now, lower speed limits have been restricted to smaller roads in
residential areas or near schools. But in a major policy shift, 20mph
limits are to be introduced on major arterial roads – and policed by the
latest digital speed cameras.

will be run on ‘Red Routes’ – the main arterial roads that carry a third
of the capital’s traffic.
Bristol, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh and many other towns and
cities say they also intend to introduce the new limits.
Motorists caught breaking the 20mph limit face a minimum £100 fine and
three points on their driving licence.
The AA says the new limits are being driven more by ‘dogma’ than road
safety. A spokesman said: ‘These 20mph zones are popping up like spring
daffodils.
