Average speed cameras could be introduced on the A12 in north Essex.
The Highways Agency has submitted funding requests for a series of improvements to the key road, including for a series of “time and distance cameras”.
The move follows a flurry of crashes on the road, which was closed or blocked five times in the space of eight hours last Thursday, causing delays and bad tempers for motorists delayed in the scorcing conditions.
