The theory is commonplace, but I doubt the practice - not least because
it's entirely possible for two nominally visually identical vehicles (and
certainly very similar in overall outline or cross-section) to have
different speed limits.

Basically, I just don't think the cameras are intelligent enough.

Talivans, otoh...


SPECS3 combined with ANPR, Bristol and South Wales trials went very
well.


Yeah, but these were point speed cameras (GATSOs or whatever) not
SPECS-type average speed setups.
