At least when the work is done people will stop whinging about the ruts that run the length of the A2 from Hall Road to Cobham... :wink:

To bump this, jdubya, yeah, all they need to do is sort out the 1ft bloody gaps between the M25 and the Dartford Heath junction (London bound). Those bikts literally fire me accross lanes....



Just an update, the cameras at the Cobham/Gravesends East junction, some of them now face the other way (rearwards facing) so they can get rear registrations plates. I don't know how this works, but they wouldn't turn them round for no reason.

I noticed it the other day, it seems they are trying to catch the bikers out who filter between the traffic now :rant:

Im still unsure how they work, 1 camera for 1 lane, or 1 camera covers multiple lanes? Its just at Cobham area theres like 2-3 cameras each way, yet at the REAL danger area under the M25, theres only 1???

Logic??? A2 users beware.

Yep, I saw those rearward facing camera's the other day as well...definately put the brakes on the old triumph when going past there. BUT there are still cars and bikes going though there at about 70mph so I hope they are getting fined;)

Jdub, what Triumph you on? What time you travelling as im sure I pass a yellow one every so often as im nearing London.

They are everywhere on the A2 now - the ones facing the other way catch the opposite carriageway don't they?

Daimo hows the bandit?

I ride a Daytona 955i, 06 essex plate with union jack nose cone. Nope, that wouldn't be me coz I work from home and am studying at the moment...when I do need to get into the smoke I normally go by train coz I need to lug a laptop and stuff with me and when I go to class its always M25 then via surrey into tolworth. And when I go to the driving range at cascades its always in the car;)

I thought this, but looking at the angle, the one going coastbound get the London bound 3rd lane, and the one on the londonbound side get the rear end of 3rd lane LB traffic.

Luckily i come on at Gravesend east anyway.

Bandits good. Get another 50 miles out the tank which is another day without filling up, but costs me £15 opposed to £12.50 for the SV.

Definatly not as exciting (still limited to sub 6k, got its 1st service tomorrow, then 1000rpm more for every 100 miles), but its SO much more comfy to ride. Engine is VERY smooth compared to the SV, but i miss the SV engine noise and the instant low down power off the lights. Digi speedo and fuel gauge is cool, and the top box is well handy. Riding position is more upright and comfy for commuting, but im missing the sports bike ride already. But it is better for what i need it for. Best get saving for a sports bike then :lol: (I wish....)

Already fitted bungs, front mudguard extension, rear hugger and tank side protector (like a clear film).

Krhall, do you come through blackheath commen as im sure i passed an SV the same as yours last night, it got caught between the lanes of traffic and i was filtering along the outside (just before the T junction lights before the roundabout (after the esso)).

Jdub, nope, not you, although it is a 955 in yellow with union jack on the front side panels.

Re: Average Speed Cameras on A2
 

Just been passed there again and it looks like they are deffo facing the rear of the vehicles passing...but then the other option I thought about was that they could have been placed there for when they put in a contraflow?

Re: Average Speed Cameras on A2
 

Could be me! I do go that way and getting caught happens to me quite often as I'm still a bit hesitant, sometimes.

Daimo - did I see you earlier on the A2?
