Thousands more speed cameras are to appear on Britain's roads.

The government's allowing all police forces to spend money raised from speeding fines on new equipment.

Transport Minister John Spellar is due to say, in a scheme announced on Monday, that cameras must be made clearly visible - half-hidden cameras have been much criticised by motoring groups.

This follows a recent survey by Mori which found that seven out of 10 drivers accepted that cameras reduced crashes, saved lives and made motorists slow down.
