Transport for London (TfL), working alongside Enfield Council and the Metropolitan Police, has extended the average-speed camera system on the A10 to reduce road danger and tackle road-related anti-social behaviour.
The new cameras, which cover the southern section from Southbury Road to the A406, support a range of other measures including new lane markings, and an injunction prohibiting ‘car cruising’.
TfL is working in partnership with the Metropolitan Police and London boroughs to achieve the Mayor of London's goal of eliminating deaths and serious injuries from London's roads, and tackling speeding is a key part of this.
Councillor Ergin Erbil, Leader of Enfield Council, said: “Creating a safer and cleaner Enfield is our priority, so we welcome the extension of average-speed cameras that have been installed along the southern section of the A10 from Southbury Road towards Edmonton.
"This is something we have been campaigning for, for a long time, and we know how much this means to our communities who live around this area of the A10.
“I would like to thank Transport for London and the Metropolitan Police for working in partnership with us to install the new cameras and road markings that will help us to prevent death and injury on our borough’s roads.
“We will no longer tolerate drivers who ignore speeding laws and think they can use our roads as a race track.
“Tackling speeding is key to preventing the loss of life on our roads, and we will not hesitate to work with the Metropolitan Police to prosecute those who break the law and endanger our residents.
"Tackling antisocial behaviour like speeding and car meets is a key priority for the Council. Together we can all build a safer Enfield for everyone.”
