SPECS Cameras???
Discussion
Has anyone spotted these on the A1 near TVTE? Theres one South bound close to the bend, one North bound on the bank down from the Angel and another on the North bound slip road off the A1 to the Coal House roundabout.
Are there anymore I haven't seen? Are these active yet? Are they permanent or temporary? Whats going on with the godforsaken country? Answers on a postcard??

Aye they are starting roadworks on that bend during the summer holidays :O
It was on the news a while back about the road works, as it will be down to one lane in both directions, so it should be fun getting down there at rush hour
Think there were talks or making that corner less steep (although its not very steep now)

Its stupid... went down that up that way on Saturday and no one has a clue what to do!
Traffic started gathering back on the hill down towards the camera's, then people doing like 30mph past them (even though its clearly still 70mph as there are no signs up)
Once you get past the camera's everythings fine!
Bloody stupid!!
Nearly caused a few accidents with people just jamming their brakes on

If these things are actually real and working,I think a few people may be in for a surprise in the post soon, judging by the speed of some this evening.
I wondered why the 40MPH speed limit had started, since there doesn't seem to be any work being done yet, but I found out that it's because part of the central reservation has been removed in preparation for the main work starting Saturday. I've just been setting my cruise control to 40 and keeping left.NorthEast said:

Too right some cars were just flying up the bowes incline.So south bound the last spec camera is halfway up the incline, north bound the last spec camera is halfway on the team valley bridge as far i know unless some one knows different?
