The one on Speke Boulevard has been sawn off - fair play I say.

Unforunately the M62 one was replaced last week mad

Bloody stupid location forcing drivers to brake and lose most of their speed, then have to hit the gas to get up the hill. Closer to the top would be more visible, more natural to slow for the brow, and catch those doing innapropriate speeds prior to the bend and traffic lights.

Wot? You expect the collection of ex school bullies and passive/aggressive public transporteers to be sensible/not vindictive?

I could actually support speed cameras if the arses in charge actually put them just in front of critical junctions/schools/blind corners where no alternative road planning solution can be found.

It is noticable in my own area (Tameside) that cameras are falling into disrepair and not being replaced. Lets hope the trend continues.

..... the reason being, the funds no longer go to the police & local authority, but to central government!!! But of course they were never designed to be anything other than a safety issue, and not a "revenue" raiser!!

That's been gone for ages, the one on the A562 heading towards Speke is back though!

Where is that one ? The only fixed sites for the A562 are by Widnes after the Runcorn Bridge and at the top of Smithdown Road - unless I've missed one (which is worrying).

Nothing showing here either: http://www.no-excuses.org.uk/Pages/CameraMap.aspx?...

Yeah the one after the runcorn bridge, heading towards Liverpool, it was 'taken out of action' a while ago, but its back.

I love that speed camera - through it and then third gear foot on floor...

I was too scared to go through it over 50 even when it was blown up - just in case it still worked.

However, some people were flying through it.

Please don't tell me you are one of those people who hit the anchors there ?? The limit is 70 on that stretch (dual carriageway NSL) and only drops to 50 at Speke or the flyover before the bridge in Runcorn direction. So many people panic brake when they see the yellow boxes there. mad

Oh, apologies if you meant the M62 one. (of course you did wink ) Must admit I didn't risk it even when it was badly fire damaged - I prefer them properly sawn off !! laugh

thumbup +1

bad enough slowing to 70, but so much worse when the car ahead is still showing brake lights and not noticing you filling their rear view mirror !!

I know about the speed camera at the bottom on the m62, but today as i was driving down i saw a police van and 4 cameras about a mile before the camera. Were these also speed traps?

I was originally referring to the one near the Jag factory, still not replaced, 40mph zone.
