Average speed cameras are currently being installed on the A24 at Southwater.

The installation forms part of a trial on behalf of the Home Office and ACPO (Association of Chief Police Officers).

Ken Seymour, Manager of the Sussex Safer Roads Partnership, said: “The cameras will be monitored, but motorists will not be prosecuted if they stray over the speed limit.

“Testing new technologies is vital for the Home Office Type Approval system, without which no cameras can be used on our roads.”

The cameras will be clearly marked with ‘on test’ signage.

The trial will be completed in two months and the costs will be met by the manufacturer Siemens.
