Average Speed Cameras On The A338 Spur Road?

[minimatt1967]

There has been a lot of talk about there being average speed cameras on the A338 Spur Road, any body know if its true? or just scare mongering?

Not that it bothers me I always stick to the speed limit

As far as I am aware they are normal scameras. Not that my driving would prove otherwise

The cameras on the Wessex Way (inside Bournemouth 50mph limits) are normal speed cameras. At least 2 of the 8 cameras (5 southbound, 3 northbound) are always active, and sometimes as many as 4 of them are.

They are not SPECs though, and thank God for that. I'm not aware of any initiative to introduce anything like that on the road. Although there are occasional accidents, I'm not aware of any data which blames speeding for any of it, and damage is as much to do with the fact that there are no barriers on the outside of the carriageways, so cars seem to end up in the trees regardless of what speed they're doing.

Thanks for that chaps, I was going to say it puts my mind at rest, but having never ventured over the speed limits so appropritely set

change lanes between average speed cameras and they don't pick you up

I'm sorry to hear that because it so tempting to keep it nailed after the roundabout perhaps with a touch of opposite lock depending on how hard your pressing on!
Useful advice zed thanks for that!

What are the cameras attached to the avon causeway bridge /flyover on the A338 they are black not yellow and are on both sides.Are they speed cameras or just for traffic monitoring?

Traffic monitoring no?

[rdbilly]

Sorry but did you mean they are traffic monitoring or no they are not?
I have heard they are traffic master cameras.

Well whatever the hell they are they're pointing at the road so I guess if you want to move your nuclear weapons out of Bournemouth without the funny people noticing you'd better take the back roads from now on.

I took time out to take a closer look at them and they look similar to the traffic master cameras.My mate who has a radar/camera detector says he has never picked up a signal from them and thinks they have been there sometime.If they are they are capable of recording part of the middle letters of the numberplate and the information is encrypted.The encryption is not supposed to be reversible (Ha ha).They are supposed to monitor the journey times of random cars but the information is not used for speed related instances.(not yet anyhow).I will let you know if I get a ticket for speeding in 14 days.Meanwhile beware! Better safe than sorry.
