Ok we all know about the M25, A3 to the M40 and the cameras with the variable limits, sometimes they flash, sometimes they don't, are they going? are they not?
Well i have it on good authority that in one months time they are going "live" with new digital devices set at 10% plus 2mph, at present they are set to 90mph, alledgedly Wink
They will be linked to the matrix speeds, so guys and girls be careful as they will get you without a flash.

Sorry Darren didn't see that.
Also yesterday i noticed a specs on the section between the A12 and the M11 heading north, strange as there were no roadworks and no second camera before i exited at the M11.
I will have to keep my eyes out.

Talking of new Specs systems, the M69 had one installed at the weekend between J2 and the M1 as they are going to resurface it over the next few weeks.

That's always been the magic formula, even on side roads, town roads etc. Rolling Eyes

I wouldn't dream of clocking along at 90mph on the M25, nor any other road, so much debris on the surface and foreign drivers, and of course worse drivers than yourself. Driving

... but WASN'T for the variable speed cameras on the M25. Established wisdom was that they were switched OFF when the variable limits were not in operation.

There are actually 2 sets of specs cameras on that stretch of the M25 both of them already in the database

Very true Andy........... Wink Twisted Evil......Always keep within the limits on the M25. I expect Ken Livingstone will charge us parking fees on there one day now that its almost a Car Park. And 4 X 4 owners will hate him even more so...(http://ukpress.google.com/article/ALeqM5g479QNTc1cyPg7W_0HvS6kM8rueQ)

Not just 4x4 owners, there are some surprising vehicles that fall foul of the new charge, see here.

Including those bumpy, clattering, smoky old London Black Cabs. Too bad they are exempt. Evil or Very Mad

Yeah it would be real good if they weren't

No, they would sell these old bangers and get a modern vehicle. ;)
