Heads up for Dartford tunnel users:

[Admiral Huddy]

Don't ever post here but I just got this.. thought it might be usefull passing on. Sorry if it's already been posted:

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:

Often there is a big delay between the cameras being put up and actually going live, but our source tells us that they are going live this week.



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.

Thanks for the heads up fella...I live nearby and was actually going to be heading to Essex within the next week probably, I probably wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't posted this thread.

I heard about these last week, I haven't been down that way this week so haven't seen them yet. Will keep an eye out tonight!

Also Dartford tag for the win!

The cameras have been up for ages but not active, I was wondering when they were going to be turned on. No more seeing how fast I can go over the bridge
