M42 specs cameras

gcranston · Posted: Mon Jan 12, 2009 2:10 pm Post subject: M42 specs cameras

On the M42 on the stretch between the M6 toll and where it turns into the A42. There are numerous specs cameras along it now, with a certain group of them flanking a 50 roadwork section, and the rest just being on open 70 road. There are no signs warning about the ones in the 70 section. None are yet on the database.

Should we add just the cameras that are around the 50 section, and assume that the '70' ones aren't yet in use (i.e. rolling roadworks for the future)? There's no reason they couldn't use them set to 70 is there, as they've put them up!?

Last time I was on this stretch of road was between Christmas & New Year (southbound). The cameras were in place, but the roadworks weren't, and the limit was still 70 all the way along. At the very beginning I noticed a sign saying "Cameras not in use", so I din't report any of them on this journey (Unfortunately, I had reported the northbound ones the previous week because I hadn't seen the sign - but my submissions haven't been acted upon).

Could there still be a similar sign in place for the cameras outside the roadwork zone?

Yeah, I was thinking of mentioning that but thought I might confuse myself and everyone else! When I drove southbound few days into the new year, I recall the same sign, cameras not in use. Going northbound yesterday I never saw the same sign, but I don't know if it ever was on that side.

Guess we should add the cameras that do surround the 50 area, but not the rest until the roadworks move up there.

Just for information - from a Verifier.

We've been getting reports of Specs on M42 since just before Christmas and when I went north two days before Christmas I took a printout of 16 cameras to check. Unfortunately, they had been submitted from some sort of inside information which was inaccurate and there weren't any there to check at that time (so every last one was rejected)! I've been very quiet since I last went that way - nobody wants me to do any deliveries. Keep up the submissions and a Verifier will be along quite soon now.

I went that way yesterday and there are indeed lots of sets of cameras both in the roadworks and on the open carriageway.

I have just updated my PGPSW camera DB on my 720 as I am going there on Thursday again so would I be correct in assuming that these are not included yet?

Thanks.

As of yesterday (2009-01-19 10:26:40) between the M6 Toll turn off and the end of the motorway there were 14 SPECS cameras already reported and in the process of being verifed and a further 2 verified ones.

I suspect most if not all of them will be in tomorrows release.

It helps an awful lot if the reports are as close to the exact position as possible and also if they include the speed limit (difficult in this case I know, where the cameras went up before the limit was changed).

I really don't quite get what the logic of submitting proposed cameras is about!? We don't care if it will be a camera even if its accurate, we care if it is a camera Laughing Out Loud

Think we're referring to two different 'p's here! Question

I was talking about proposed cameras that people might submit, i.e. rumoured future camera locations based on some kind of inside info, or predictions. I think that's what Dennis was referring to.

No, the 'p' for pending is a great system. Fully support it, have it on all the time. Smile
