Speed Cameras M42

(1/3) > >>

BrumLee:
I have been given some information:

As of the 1st April 2006 the new digital automated tracking system between junctions 3 & 7b on the M42 was scheduled to go live.

There are 276 Digital Cameras which have been set to allow only 2mph tolerance, you will not see any flash. The first you will know when you have been caught is the day the postman delivers the £60 fine.

Be careful, I won't be testing this to see if the information is correct.

Edge:
Thanks for that :D . I take it these are the cameras that point down at the lanes from the flyovers/bridges????

Jas278:
Used it twice since the 1st, dont speed usually, but Ill keep me cheeks clenched just in case........ :oops:

steveieb:
The cameras are clearly visible at the side of the carriageway (look like street lights) and are very close together.
They have been installing them for about a year.

Also I am sure most of you are aware if not here goes: there are AVERAGE spped cameras on the M1 around Leicester (both south and north) they have been there for ages and the word AVERAGE is very relevant its 50 mph and its logged from entry to exit not just at the cameras (they are big ugly yellow things above the carriageways.Hope no ones got unstuck there!

imspanners:
The cameras are traffic management cameras, for the new hard shoulder running system.
There are 8 enforcement cameras along the route not 276!
