JUST RECIEVED THIS FROM A FRIEND, NOT SURE IF ITS OLD NEWS ON HERE BUT THOUGHT I'D POST ANYWAY.



All,



The M20 Junctions 4 to 7 Controlled Motorways scheme will go live with enforcement from Kent Police during the week of 23 August.



Please find below the link to the leaflet that has been produced for the scheme for your information.

We have also produced a Frequently Asked Questions document that will be uploaded onto the website, and a link to the document is below:

I thought they were live already in much the same way as the M25 J8/9 - J16 cameras ?

I hope this is true (as in they go live this week) otherwise I could possibly have a nasty shock in store after Sunday .... Didn't notice them until on the way back on the back of the gantries.

More fool me in many respects.

The (new) M25 ones still don't appear to be live, so hopefully the M20 ones will not be either.

And I might have gone through those ones a little quick in the last month or so, with nothing in the mail...

rumour has it from a police friend of mine that they are definitely coming online asap.... traffic round there normally too bad for me to get much above 60 anyway

Can anyone give definitive information about how these gantry cameras operate? My understanding is that they are active only when a reduced speed limit--eg 60, 50, 40, 30-- is in operation and not at other times when the national speed limit (70) applies. Is this right? Is this also the case for gantry mounted cameras on the M25, M1 around J10 and J27, and the M42?
