A249 Detling Hill camera active?
Discussion
That bridge was installed after some people died crossing the road. Temporary Cameras where installed and the speed limit reduced till the bridge was completed.(both are still there) In the hundreds of times I've passed that point over the years at different times of the day I've never seen people cross the bridge,but i have seen kids nearly run over running across the road.

To be fair I have used the bridge a few times when I cycle along Pilgrims Way. That's how I remember it, funny how both are still there.....gtidriver said:

The death of Jade Hobbs and her grandmother finally galvanised the local community and the council into action. As with everything, time is a healer, so people become complacent about the danger. At least they have the choice of safely crossing the bridge, or running the gauntlet.m4tti said:

I always thought a pedestrian crossing with lights would have made more sense and probably cheaper but I guess a bridge suits the horse riders better.
Uhhh a pedestrian crossing on a dual carriage way. That'd be unusual. Oldred_V8S said:

Scamera van still has a habit of sitting in the lay by just around the bend after the camera (going out of Maidstone) so strongly advise not just slowing for the camera.
It also occasionally sits just over the brow of the hill, just before the limit changes to NSL.The sad individual that parks his scamera van here and down behind the large bush by The Three Squirrels has some serious personality issues....unless he's just dogging I guess?!
