SCZ @ Tower Bridge

[Glassman]

Speed control zone set at 20mph.

I cross that bridge at least once a week... usually cruise along with slow-moving traffic (during the day it's never free flowing). So, City of London Police thought it is great place to set up a 'Speed Control Zone' which - if exceeding 20mph - will take a picture of the front of your vehicle.

29mph will earn you a very prompt NIP (three days)

Watch out.

Tower Bridge has had a 20mph limit on it now for at least a year, with Specs cameras that have been there to from day one.

There is also a 30 mph SPECS(was 20) on Lower Thames Street .. which is a pain as a lot of people don't understand the word average ! This is the one they had to give the refund for as the signs where in the wrong place ..

Are SPECS type-approved for speeds below 30mph? I don't know of any other 'speed camera' or 'hand held speed monitoring device' that is.

I think this has been covered before - and that there is no type approval for any such 'device' below 30mph doesn't matter...
