Mk 1 Mark Posted May 8, 2009 Report Posted May 8, 2009 ______________________________________________ PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE TO HELP SAVE THEIR LICENSES ! 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. Pictures here: http://btst.co.uk/QE2BridgeCameras/ (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 They are going live this week.4/5/09 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. There are also cameras in the Dartford tunnel (kent into essex )so be careful.

ratman Posted May 10, 2009 Report Posted May 10, 2009 Came over the bridge today spotted the cameras but there is a sign saying cameras not in use
Nettles Posted May 10, 2009 Report Posted May 10, 2009 Cheers for the info I use the tunnels and bridge every day commuting to work. The cameras have been up for weeks but as Rat man said they all have signs up saying "Camera not in use". At least now tommoz I won't get nabbed on my way to work!
Nettles Posted May 10, 2009 Report Posted May 10, 2009 Oh yeah I forgot to mention that there are cameras on the Kent side as well leading up to the tunnel tolls. So watch your speed!
Smudger105e Posted May 11, 2009 Report Posted May 11, 2009 the quicker we vote this goverment out the better You honestly think that would make any difference at all?
mk2_escort_chick Posted May 11, 2009 Report Posted May 11, 2009 I was struggling to do 40mph back over the bridge after Battlesbridge yesterday. Then I had to be rescued after the tolls
jimbo Posted May 11, 2009 Report Posted May 11, 2009 Hmmmmm http://www.safespeed.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12285 Makes no difference to me. Anytime time I've gone over the bridge I'm lucky to hit 30!
