Specs has been around for ages. Tehre is currently a 20mph set up on lower thames street. I dont think that they are going to put them in gatso boxes as specs needs to be forward facing i believe.

And they can't get bikes

It's great how they put so much investment into forward facing cameras ...

... until we have to stick our reg on our helmets.

Wasn't this the one they have abandoned because they put the 20mph zone in the wrong place and had to refund all the fines that were issued?

It does? Hmm, can't be working then as I've used that many times in the car.

So these SPECS are forward facing and can't get bikes? Shucks.

Eep! I've been using lower thames street since aldgate has been shut, is the specs there active? I've seen the signs that tell you how fast you're going, but are there cameras??

There's 20mph SPECS cameras on Tower Bridge itself. I hate having to crawl over it at 20mph in the car.

Has anyone got a ticket from this one though? I didn't know (until this thread) that there was a speed camera there and have bombed it across there in the car many a time.
