Made by Gatsometer, the Dutch firm that produces Gatso speed traps, the device can monitor four lanes at once and be used on multi-lane carriageways.

What"s more, the lack of under-road sensors makes it ideal for patrolling level crossings, where the rails often prevent existing technology being used. A spokesman for Serco, Gatsometer"s British importer, explained: "The new camera is cheaper and easier to install. It is currently undergoing testing and needs approval from the Home Office before we can use it in the UK." Meanwhile, another revolutionary spy camera has been devised to catch motorists who misuse car-sharing lanes. Called Cyclops, it uses infra-red technology to detect the presence of a driver and passenger by recognising skin tones. The Department for Trans-port is considering using it to police the M1 car share lane, set to go live bet-ween junction 7 at St Albans, Herts, and 10 at Milton Keynes South, Bucks.
