New Maidstone speed camera
Discussion
Just been into Maidstone to get a few bits and spotted a newly installed (wife says it wasn't there yesterday) speed camera as you head North bound on the Loose road just before you go round the corner onto Sheals Crescent.
I'd heard they were going to put one here to slow the traffic down before it gets to the corner, but thought it was only a rumour.
There's no lines on the road yet but it probably won't be long.
Oh, and it's grey and partially hidden by the road sign so very difficult to spot.

I was not aware of this camera either but a cursory search pulled up a report by the Director of Kent Highway Services to the Highways Advisory Board on 10th July 2007 outlining the proposal for this new camera at the location first described above.
Also states cost of £33,000 and that all other options were assessed but subsequently dismissed.

I hope it is not active as yet as I may be getting a letter in the post any one know if it is active yet did not see if there were any lines.
Didn't look like it when I drove past it this morning. I would imagine they'd have to remove the road sign first as it must block the cameras view.
it wasnt on the road angel camera DB yet. definitly sneaky though, and when i cam back the other way didnt see any markings on the road either. Gassing Station | Kent & Essex | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
