But under Home Office 'type approval' rules, each individual set cannot be linked to any of the others. So cars are timed only between sets of number plate readers 'paired' for the same lane.
A spokeswoman for the Home Office said: 'The manufacturers applied for the camera to be type-approved to measure one lane only. It has been type-approved for this use - this can be either the lane under the camera or a lane to either side of it.'

It would take 3 lines of software in all new car ecu's to make them slow
down and obey speed limits as most new cars have sat nav and a virtual
speed limit map could be forced upon us very soon....
....sooner than we all think.
A crude version of this is already in japan and the usa.

but how do you know which cameras are linked? in notts there must be about 6 or 7 cameras on one stretch of road into town, if I changed lanes between the first two cameras how do I know the first one isnt linked to the third one?
you have to change lanes eventually and you might be changing back into the lane with the linked camera on it, bit of a risk IMO, thats if I've read it right?
