Heads Up - Progress Rd Junc Southend Traffic Signal Cameras
Discussion
Just wanted to make you all aware that if you are going through the traffic light junction of the A127 and Progress Rd as you come into or leave Southend, the traffic signal cameras are also "speed on green" as I have just discovered to my cost They never used to be, so don't know when they changed, but changed they have.
52 in a 40 before you ask!

I’ve just received one of these for exactly the same (51 in a 40). Smells like some sneaky money making considering the road.
Anyone know what the likely outcome is for a 1st time offense?
Under 53 is within the guidelines for a Speed Awareness Course unless you've been on one in the last 3 years; in which case it should be 3 points and £100 fineAnyone know what the likely outcome is for a 1st time offense?

Sooo, £91 fine and a course it is! Somewhat frustrating but never mind.
Ah, never mind. Hopefully they'll have biscuits on the course. Just tell the Speed Awareness chap that you were perfectly aware of your speed, as you were gunning it before the lights went red. I'm sure it'll go down a treat My friend got done doing 53 through the Progress Road lights. I myself thought I'd been snapped behind Bas Vegas.
I really hate traffic light cameras. I used to boot it through to make sure they didn't suddenly turn, but I can't do that anymore! It feels like Russian Roulette every time.

The bellhouse Lane/A127 camera must be raising serious amounts of money. I got fined in August and three of my work colleagues have also been penalised since then.
The nasty/crafty thing about this site is that there are no secondary speed road markings at the location.
Unless you are aware of it's existence most drivers will probably believe the camera is for the junction lights only.
The camera was previously only used for that purpose.
Obviously the local constabulary are looking to increase their coffers
