Was travelling along the top of the M25 yesterday

and, it looks like there are SPECS Poles on the side of the road?

they have the little motif in the corner, but no cameras ontop

what's going in here?

Yeah saw them yesterday - anticlock only between A12 and M11 junctions. They were not there Friday and there were no speed limit boards or camera sign boards up. I guess they are getting ready for yet more road works on the M25 - in time for Easter perhaps???

I spotted them last night - if they were working there will be a lot of post about to be sent.

No signs indicating they might be in use but there was quite of lot of bollards and stuff around which suggested they're getting ready for roadworks soon.

Shouldn't be too worried - it's rare for traffic on the M25 to move at more than 30mph at the best of times. yes laugh

There are some monitoring the 50mph limit clockwise from Dartford crossing A282 to M25 Junc 2...
with 'Average Speed Limit' warnings, been there sometime for junction improvements with A2

ah right, they weren't there when I went past.

Nice to Know they have their priorities set right when doing roadworks!

First thing, speed cameras!
