Anyone know anything about them? They seem to have just gone up, roadworks around the area but no set speed limit signs anywhere

I *think* they may be specs cameras, there are about 4 sets of them on each side of the carrage way with two cameras on each pole (over hangs both lanes) The camera's are yellow with two box's either side of the main unit.

Don't these clock your average speed over a certain distance? They seem to be roughly 2 or 3 miles in length to pass all four sets of cameras.

Anyone know anything about them ?

I use the road a fair bit and tbh doesn't seem like an area for concern accident wise.

 

Think you may be right mate, sound like they could be specs. And yes they do clock average speed

 

Its because the M11 is being re-surfaced and they do measure your speed over a set distance,

3 cameras both sides at approx start, middle then end

Only there for approx 12 weeks

 

They look pretty permanent tbh! - I hope I don't get caught I was doing about 70 on approach to the first one, braked to below 60 and then maintained a steady 50 odd for the remaining couple miles until the end of the cameras

 

The speed limits is 40 mph cameras prob allow 10% from when you past the first camera to the last camera, that means an average of 40 over the distance

This info is from a very good source , all i can say

 

It cant be surely. They should have the 40 signs up if this is the case, and there defo was not any! Plus I was the only driver pootling along, people were maintaining speeds of 70 - 80 MPH odd as normal, so they are all fooked too

TBH though, there were no workers around, perhaps the limit is enforced in the week when they are working at the side of the road (which is understandable!)

 

If there was no speed limit signs present then your ok.

LUCKY BOY

 

The government told us no more Gatso's. However I know through work that although the Gatso's time is coming to an end they are to be heavily using average speed systems instead.

What they give with one hand they take double back with the other

 

There wasnt a speed limit present on Friday either heading southbound. In fact I don't remember there being any camera's on Friday (althought it was dark!) but the poles were up as I remember passing them thinking, 'hmmm they are new!' lol

Gunna have to wait and see and watch out for these in the future....nice to know the fooking road angel failed to detect them

 

May just be getting them ready but not fully commisioned........

 

Yes, I was thinking this Lee, probably NOT active yet either as the RA didn't pick them up, and i'm sure it should!

 

Road angel will only pick them up once they have been put onto the gps data base. laser wont pick them up as specs do not work the same as gatsos. Try up dating your road angel as they may well have been added by now.

 

according to my local paper, they should be there for about 12 weeks, and the limit is 40mph, the last time the speed limit was put up on the m11, was between stansted and harlow, thousands per day were geting fines

I went through these on Saturday on my way down to PE with C+B and Gary and there was definately no 40 signs we went through at 65/70mph

Thanks for the info.

Well, there were no signs to say it was a 40mph limit, If there was then I would have been sticking to it especially once I clocked the specs cameras. Also, there were no workers there on Friday evening at around 5:30pm, and as mentioned no 40 signs (they usually warn you about a mile before you hit the limit and for the duration) and again on Sunday no workers and no 40 signs.

Nice to see I wasn't the only one to notice there was no speed restriction in place over the weekend. I'm hoping it's not being enforced yet, and maybe the camera's are'nt working yet....but it'd be nice for someone to confirm if the limit is being enforced this week as I am not going to cover that road for the next couple of weeks.

 

found another one for you, according to this site ( government so bound to be wrong ) it starts from 6 this morning.

Kinda makes sense now, how the poles had gone up end of last week minus the camera's, camera's were up yesterday, no speed limit enforced. If anyone uses this stretch of road daily then let us know if there is a 40 limit now being enforced

 

I wasn't doing that speed when I passed the first one!!

I reckon 75-80.

 

 

Heard on the local radio about these this evening. The resurfacing is taking place until 6th May, 12 weeks from today.

Looks like I was lucky here
