FYI..............

During last week, there were SPECS average speed cameras
erected on the QE2 "Dartford" Bridge in Essex/Kent.
They start just before the bridge and end before the tolls at the end.
If you have driven by and not seen them last week, it's because
they are mounted on a road gantry rather than on the normal
yellow or blue poles.

(from 2 different spotters so that we got all the cameras)
Often there is a big delay between the cameras being put up
and actually going live, but our source tells us that they are
going live this week.
The SPECS area on the other side of the road is also being
extended but we understand that the extra cameras haven't
been cabled in yet.
If you own a BTST Locator then the bridge cameras are being
added in the morning ( along with 52 other changes last week) so
I strongly suggest you update yours tomorrow!

 
They'll be raking it in by the barrowload.

Everytime I've gone over that bridge and slowed to the speed limit, everything, and I do mean everything, passes me.

I won't be rustling up much sympathy though, if anyone can see the speed limit signs and the camera signs and only they have control of their right foot who's fault is it going to be when they get caught ?
 
On Saturday I was amazed to see signs on the M4 SPECS gantries (going from Heathrow towards London) saying "camera not in use". Why not let people think they are live :confused:
 
They've had GATSOs on the approaches (and maybe the bridge?) for some time. A friend of mine got done there a couple of years ago.

Becuase they are no longer "Speed Cameras" but "Safety Cameras" :rolleyes:
 
Good to know cheers for the heads up
