15 January 2015: The Highways Agency provided the following statement to a number of media outlets today, following interest in the use of speed camera enforcement systems on sections of smart motorways – this follows interest in road users on the M25 in Kent receiving fines from the police for breaking the speed limits. We provided the following statement to them:
