hogmaw Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Travelling north from London today to Phoenix in Watford and all of a sudden there's some SPECS cameras just before the roadworks south of Watford. With no warning signs!!! So be careful when approaching this area, don't let them catch you out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellis Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Just change lanes. Is that actually the case? I've heard it said but didn't know if it was true! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I'll be heading there at the weekend - must remember to take the road angel. Of course - I also went there last weekend, and didn't - so I will be watching the post carefully! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cashpoint Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Spotted these yesterday on the way down to the ace. Thought they had to be signs ?

Class One Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 There should be signs out. IIRC one at least within 1/2 mile of the camera. Perhaps they're not active yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cashpoint Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Just change lanes. Does that really work, seems to simply. Anyone going to see if it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 On the northbound side there were deffo no signs. Not sure about southbound, as I didn't travel back that way, BUT I did see an engineer wiring in the cameras on the south side so they will be active soon if not already.

cashpoint Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 No signs south bound and didn't even see the first specs camera heading to the ACE Cafe last night. Was looking on the way back still couldn't see both set south bound. There were two sets north bound though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Supra Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 No signs!!! i've been through the ones on the M25 at 90+ on average from the A127 to M11 turning (there is 3 of them) didn't realise till the last. Saw them when heading to Sevenoaks coming back at night no light so couldn;t see them very well was looking out for the signs and there wasn't any. I await to see what happens now, no traffic so was inside lane past all of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Are you sure they were not covered up? I went past them last weekend and they were covered up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I doubt they are active. The ones on the A14 in Camerashire, still have bags over them. The signs are up, the old cameras are gone. Definitely not active. But 3 sets in 8 miles is ridiculous. The only cars they will catch will be very early morning or very late at night, the rest of the time the A14 is like a car park. The spin is traffic will flow more smoothly as the speed limit will be adhered to. Total bollocks, it would be a luxury to drive at 70 on the bloody road. With the old cameras people would slam on the anchors as they passed a camera, even when they are doing 10 or more mph below the limit. The only safe way to test the change lanes theory would be having a friend from abroad staying at your address who drove a hire car through the cameras at silly speeds and changing lanes.

Andy Supra Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Yes the M25 are defo!!! not covered! on the last (and first one i spotted on way home) I could even look up and see the red infra-red glow as i passed under and no signs on that road. As for the A14 yep there still covered and not active yet. (On that road every day) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
