"Enfield collaborates with Transport for London (TfL) and the Metropolitan Police to lessen disruptive behavior along the A10"

In a bid to reduce road danger and tackle antisocial behaviour, Enfield Council has joined forces with Transport for London (TfL) and the Met Police. This partnership aims to address speeding drivers and careless road use on the A10, a major road in Enfield.

Lilli Matson, TfL's chief safety, health and environment officer, has emphasized that speed continues to be a significant factor in nearly half of fatal collisions in London, with devastating consequences. To combat this issue, TfL has taken several measures.

Firstly, TfL has cut back vegetation along the A10 to ensure clearer footways. Additionally, new and enhanced lane markings have been introduced, and all signals are now clearly visible. TfL has also ensured that signal-controlled crossings on the corridor have functioning tactile cones.

One of the most notable measures is the extension of the average-speed safety camera system on the A10's southern section from Southbury Road to the A406. This extension replaces the 'spot speed' cameras that were already in place on this stretch of road. Since the introduction of the average-speed safety camera system in 2020, collisions involving death and serious injury have reduced by over half, from seven in 2019 to three in 2021 and 2022.

The data shows that these measures, particularly the average speed cameras on the northern section of the A10 (from the M25 to Southbury Road) and high levels of enforcement, have been successful in reducing the number of collisions involving death and serious injury. In 2023 and 2024, there have been no such collisions at this location.

The partnership also aims to tackle speeding, car meets, antisocial driving, and racing at this location. Furthermore, an injunction prohibiting 'car cruising' has been put in place.

Matson also mentioned that the partnership is determined to ensure that roads are safe for everyone in Enfield. This sentiment is shared by local residents and politicians who have been raising concerns about speeding drivers and antisocial road use.

The London authority involved in introducing these measures is Transport for London (TfL), while the authority responsible for implementing the average speed cameras is the Metropolitan Police Service.

The fourth annual CiTTi Awards will be held on 25 November 2025 at De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London to recognise and celebrate achievements and innovations in road safety. This event is an unmissable occasion for the UK's transportation sector.

The A10 partnership is a testament to the commitment of Enfield Council, TfL, and the Met Police in making London's roads safer and reducing road danger.
