The machine is being tested at Fir Covert Road and Cherry Tree Road, near New Buckenham, in south Norfolk, while a further test is planned at the B1145 near Cawston, in north Norfolk.

Council officials will evaluate how effective the machine is before deciding whether or not to sign a contract for one or more of them in the future.
