Doesn't change anything as this has been the case on motorways for ages. They've just added variable speed limits to this section.

 

This the section to and from the crossing?

 

Section from the crossing up to Swanley, the only bit I ever use lol!!!! M25 only has it on the heathrow section at the mo?

 

They will only operate when the speed limit is reduced and shown in a Red circle over each lane,

They won't flash if your doing 100mph during normal motorway service.

 

Any motorway with the variable limit signage can have cameras. I deal with the Highways Agency frequently

 

ah ok so when the speed limit has a red circle around it means that the speed cameras are activated?

 

Correct!

 

Cheers Mark

Cool, do you know if there are cameras on the Dartford Bridge?!

 

have seen them on the bridge, and thats a 50 limit at all times?


Surprised there still aint any in the tunnels?

Is that for sure?

 

yeah ive seen the cameras but again would they only be active if there is a red circle around the 50mph?! Just checking as most of the time i go over later at night and its empty!! Annoying sitting at 50 when 4 lanes are empty!

 

Yes, The cameras only activate when the speed limit is lowered.
We had a memo about variable speed limit when it was 1st introduced to the M25.
I would have been well and truly busted by now if that wasn't the case.

I use the M25 everyday, I have only ever seen the camera's flash when the speed limit is shown in the red circle.



They have them on the M42 and M62 now, The same applies. I have only ever seen them flash when the reduced speed limit is illuminated

 

ah Mark_ just see your reply to Cfosters Q, only when the red circles lite,


So you would be ok at 2am in the morning 140ish, as slong as theres no police and you dont crash?

Not that i have a car that goes that fast, just asking

 

From what I have seen, the only time they go off is with the reduced limit,
Loads of cars fly round well over the limit when the normal 70mph limit is in place, I have never seen them flash any other time.

Im on the road best part of 12hours a day, and often see them flash , but only when the variable speed limit is in place.
