My police sources sent me the following info today...

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 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.

nooooooooooooooooooo!

Used to have such fun through there!

Surely they can't put camera's in there and do you if there isn't a warning?

Of course this is all in the name of saftey!
Why else would they install them...and make them undetectable...and not tell you they are there....

Please be careful in The Drain.
Just before Xmas a courier was killed after he filtered and lost cotrol.
He went under the wheels of a fuel truck.
Not Good!

that's bad enough, but if they put in sound level meters, I'm in real trouble 8)

Cheers Mark.

Ah, I remember those days. I think I'd only had the new system on the bike for 20 mins before I got to let it rip in the tunnel! :twisted:

But can SPEC's catch bikes? Thought the camera's pointed at on-coming traffic? :? :-k
