Oh dear....

Any chance i'll have been missed? I was going "a bit quick", but we are not talking about 3 figures!

At what speed does it go off?

Bloody norma! I'm screwed. Cruising speed is a fair bit higher!

I saw that in the mail but ignored it a bit.

Must have caught loads!!!!

Any escape routes known???

Taken from Thames Valley Police Web Site ...

New M4 Road Gantry Signs

The Highways Agency has installed new signs between J 12 and J 14 of the M4 as part of a year long pilot project to reduce congestion and collisions. The signs have two CCTV cameras. One which monitors the sign itself itself to make sure its working and displaying the right message; and another to monitor the congestion to evaluate the effect the sign is having on the traffic.

There are NO speed cameras and NO SPECS cameras in the signs!

The only involvement Thames Valley Police has is to change the messages on the signs according to the conditions to give up-to-date information. This is done via our control room. The signs are owned by the Highways Agency.

There is detailed information about the project on the Highways Agency website. Please follow the link below or call them on 0845 955 6575.

Unhappy

Still worried guys!

Do we NOT believe the articles about SPECS installation then? Anybody got any inside info regarding the article about the installation? Hoax?

The last few posts seem to be discussing something completely different. I'm confused.

Read the TVP webpage, and also read the link to the highways agency webpage on the TVP webpage.

States that they are NOT SPECS camera's.

There are NO speed cameras and NO SPECS cameras in the signs!
If you are in doubt call the Highways Agency on 0845 955 6575 and ask them about the cameras and signs on the M4.
