520 _aAt the start of the 1990s, Great Britain implemented a national programme of speed checks that includes more than 5000 check locations. the coverage of the road network then allows increased surveillance of users. The deployment of this system constitutes a "technical revolution" in the manner of operating the checks. The results are convincing; a reduction in traffic speeds and an improvement in the road casualty toll. The system is also based on an original concept; local partnerships coordinated by a national office that must self-finance their operations. The speed camera programme is thus also an example of the implementation of a policy influenced by New Public Management. In fact, there are obvious parallels between the operation of the new automatic speed equipment and that of the traffic policy tasks provided by police forces. In summary, the technical revolution will be combined with administrative continuity. - Reproduced.
