I noticed on the way home tonight that there are new cameras on Embankment (1 facing each way, yellow boxes quite high up)near Charing Cross
Not sure what they are, but certainly the Road Angel doesn't know about them


Sorry if this is old news, not driven down there for about a week

There are loads of new SpeedCurb cameras gone up in London recently saw a few when driving to the motorshow some with no camera just poles, which I guess were being prepped. I've got the Road Angel Nav 6000 and that had all the new ones I saw even the ones that had no cameras on, so I would've thought they'd have that. I'll keep my eyes open if I pass that way. I do an update daily if not every 2 days coz the amount of cameras the LSCP have added. Maybe they're not live yet? Who knows...

Thanks for the heads up.

They need new cameras in this area since the specs cameras on Lower Thames Street to protect workers (work now finished) have been removed....not!

Also a couple of these are up north of the Blackwall tunnel - Not so easy to spot these new cameras. The box being that much higher taking it further out your line of sight and of course the calibration grids are much shorter. Come next year when they will be allowed to blend them in again instead of using yellow backs and they will be a PITA if the gadjets dont keep up with where thay are.
