We have has query from a Local Authority highway engineer regarding the use of red traffic signals to stop drivers who are exceeding the speed limit. A system is in use in Spain whereby a vehicle exceeding the speed limit immediately calls a red traffic signal some 100 to 150 metres down the road, which stops the speeding vehicle. We have been asked if there are any similar systems in use in the UK and if any systems are approved for use in the UK. Any feedback would be appreciated.
