i cant confirm, but would be surprised as they seem to still be upgrading the barrier system along there ready for the increase in speed limit.

but when they do means i will have to get up earlier to get to work!!!!

just done a search, nothing on TFL but did come across someone saying they had received a mail from TFL quoting:

"Please note that enforcement using the average speed cameras is planned to commence from 31 January 2011."

It's 50mph now so very close to going live.

xdave

its 40mph already , you must being flying past the 40mph speed signs lol

Its 40 at the moment but is being increased to 50 once the cameras are switched on. Even 50 is to slow for that stretch. Going to be hard sticking to that on my way in/out of london when im on nights!!;

Was going to post something on this earlier, still sitting on my pc in work as never got round to hitting submit.

A friend has been told they are going live from 28th Jan and signs will be switched over the next few days. Seems to be the case as coming home this evening new 50 signs have started going up next to the 40 ones.

I know what you mean though, gonna be hard sticking to the limit

Just driven from Central London to Ilford for work, most people are already doing 50 through the Gatso's and no flashes as far as I could see (hope)

spally

iTrader: (1)

I would think he was cacking his pants @ 50 mph.

spally

iTrader: (1)

Ha ha. Driving in today there were some new 40mph signs so looks likr 40mph until you get over lodge avenue

But what I don't understand is why....in EVERY average speed zone I've EVER been in is that I've had cars/vans hammer past me like I'm standing still.

I don't know anyone whose ever had a ticket from an average speed trap and you lot usually keep me busy.

I'm starting to doubt these things actually work, or rather they work on the basis that you can only go as fast as the car in front and some ***** have to be in the right hand lane if they are turning right at SCOTLAND...

Just went on that link but just cant remember where the Goresbrook Interchange is? Can someone tell me.

kin quick

iTrader: (2)

Didn't say I was doing 50, nobbers

Chris, the A13 only has one lane as far as I'm aware - the middle lane, even at 7:30am on my way home with no traffic, idiots still use the middle lane and get the hump when under-taken (apparently )

Arkwright

Funny but oh so true.

spally

iTrader: (1)

spally

iTrader: (1)

Mate, i drive along every day and it suprises me how many people still fly along there. Do they not think "why am i passing cars as though they are stationary"!!

ave speed cameras are a load of old tosh ,im convinced they do not work at all.just the preasance slows people down,and the not knowing.
i no the ones down the a127 dont work for sure as ive ignored them since they have ever been there plus the ones on the dartford tunnel and any m25 road works in the last to years.ive never heard of anyone getting caught by thm cams.i dont even think the police no if they work because i got caught doing 70/80 down the 127 by the rozzers and they just let me go and said the ave speed cameras will be in touch and that was well over a year ago.so i think they are all dummys, untill i get caught

spally

iTrader: (1)

i know of someone who got done by the ones on the M25, so yes they do work.

Have heard that if you change lanes after passing first camera and exit in second land cameras cant track you.

Dont know how true this is but very few ave speed cameras on our little island

esxboy1

Sorry I just don't believe they work any where I've never had a ticket and Ive used the m25 to go to work for years every day and drive on the basis they don't work

Spec'c'57

iTrader: (1)

believe all you like, i also know someone who was ticketed on the M25.

Its Your licence.

I know which ones 'DON'T' work on the A127, that is good enough for me
