Heads Up - Progress Rd Junc Southend Traffic Signal Cameras

[rgw2012]

Just wanted to make you all aware that if you are going through the traffic light junction of the A127 and Progress Rd as you come into or leave Southend, the traffic signal cameras are also "speed on green" as I have just discovered to my cost They never used to be, so don't know when they changed, but changed they have.

52 in a 40 before you ask!

Cheers
Rick

Also Bellhouse Lane lights, coming from Southend.As my Step daughter found out!

Good shout, thanks for highlighting those as well, had no idea as they were always just for the red lights too. Guess we'll have to expect they are all dual function now

I’ve just received one of these for exactly the same (51 in a 40). Smells like some sneaky money making considering the road.

Anyone know what the likely outcome is for a 1st time offense?

Under 53 is within the guidelines for a Speed Awareness Course unless you've been on one in the last 3 years; in which case it should be 3 points and £100 fine
