Do HATO'S ride around in unmarked vehicles? I only ask as I was at Junction 20 of the M25 yesterday, and I spotted a vehicle with orange flashing lights built around the brake light area. Two people in high viz jackets who looked like HATO's were talking to a driver of another vehicle who was parked on the hard shoulder.

Recruitment

Anyone currently working at ERCC or out of there as a Hato able to shed any light on when recruitment is likely? Call me sad but I've always fancied working for the highways agency & would be quite happy spending hours on the road and in the control room if that's where you have to start now. Rumour has it that the salary is not as good as that working for a home office force though which I currently do... Any answers appreciated

How 'stealthy' are the new speed cameras? A set of verification cameras on pole (far left). In distance, a single enforcement camera and radar gun to left of gantry (halfway up) There has been alarm about new "stealth" speed cameras. Just how "sneaky" are they, asks Tom de Castella. It goes by the snappy name Highways Agency Digital Enforcement Camera System 3, or Hadecs 3 for short.

By 15 January - less than three months later - 1,513 people had been caught. One of the biggest compla…

The cameras along the M60 and M62 - 32 of which are currently working - have been trapping speeders, but no fines issued because of a wording on the technical order DISPUTE: The average speed cameras have been clocking motorists but no fines have been issued Hundreds of motorists clocked speeding through extensive motorway roadworks have escaped prosecution - because of a dispute between highways chiefs.

It is understood that a spat over paperwork has led to hundreds of speeding motorists escaping…

If anyone has any questions about the traffic officer service, feel free to ask. As of next April, we'll no longer be HATOs as the Highways Agency is rebranding and leaving the Civil Service.
