BLACKWALL TUNNEL - BEWARE
Not sure how true this is but I thought it better to share and be wrong than not share and everyone get stung.
From an email I received: I have it on good authority from enquiries made by staff at Motorway Control that there are now small undetectable specs cameras (average speed detection cameras) sited in both the north and south bore of the Blackwall tunnel. Apparently they are going live today. The speed limit for the tunnels are 30mph northbound and 40mph southbound. It would appear that our Criminal Justice Unit at Marlowe House have no knowledge of this and state it is TFL that have implemented it. Any offences for speeding through the tunnel would be raising funds of £100 per offence or £50 if paid promptly. They have not installed signs warning drivers of this speed trap and therfore would not be looking to hit drivers with a licence endorsement, just take the money from you. :thumb: |
Dodgy barstewards, thats just not cricket is it?
Iva ad enough of this lot of vultures bleeding us dry....why cant they all just F*ck off and die, they have ruined this island of ours with there stupid laws, lack of control/justice, and taxes. And thats before all our council tax rises that are on the cards, because of our propertys soaring in value! Is that our fault? NO Will we ever see any of that "added value"? NO So WTF should we have to pay it......they will tax us on money that we dont have, or are ever likely to see! Faggot Koonts, the lot of em! We need a revolution in this country, we are getting taken for mugs. Rant over, and i feel better for it:norty: Sean. |

From an email I received: The fine sounds wrong but who knows SO BEWARE!!! :thumb: BUT It wouldn't surprise me: every single camera on 8 mile approach to that tunnel on the Kent side is hidden behind shrubbery, or a sign, or in an embankment. Can't believe that some of them are legal under the conspicuity rules quite frankly! Ns04 |

Is there any actual proof this is true? As a general rule, all such warnings circulated by e-mail are made up. I'm guessing this is too.

i'll take a look next time I am through.
Could be ANPR or national security equivalent - more likely than new 'Kenso' camera! Ed |

Reads like the normal SPECS scaremongering e-mails.
It's a public road so IMO, the only people who can do you are the Police or the Scamera lot... J. |
I read it as if you are caught, make sure you know where you were caught because they cannot 'do' you in the tunnel (no warnings etc) you will not have to pay if you were caught in blackwall :wonder:

Not this again!
http://www.tycotraffic.com/Press-Roo...urbishment.pdf The cameras fitted in the tunnel are part of the safety system recommended in 2000 by the EU and covered in the attached report. They are CCTV for monitoring traffic flow and definitely not SPECS. There is also a webcam in there but it is not accessible (legitimately) at present. |
