• The Department of Transport is considering a "green wave" system of traffic lights for its north London Red Route pilot scheme in an attempt to stamp out speeding.
In theory this allows traffic driving at normal speed to proceed unhindered through a sequence of green lights, while speeding vehicles trip "smart" red lights, halting their progress.
The proposal follows complaints that the success in speeding up traffic flow has led to an increase in pedestrian injuries and deaths because of speeding vehicles.
