These seem to have been revamped a month or so back and now have all manner of small cameras on them, anyone know if they are red light cameras?

It doesn't say they are and they are not big and yellow like red light cameras typically are, but having had cars run reds coming out of the cherry tree junction toward Miami roundabout, when i was going into town - the London road lights had gone green already - makes me wonder if these c*nts will be nicked?

if not RL cameras what are they for?

ah probably them...re. jumpers don't want to cast aspersion on the housing from that direction (indeed my lineage has that in it), but... all fits...

Old thread but I had an issue similar to the ones discussd today.

Coming from Moulsham street onto the roundabout. I get through the first set of lights on the London Road junction, but (not familiar wtih the roundabout), I find the next set of lights are very close and have already gone to red as I've gone through them. Absolutely did not mean to and have never gone through a red light before! Only thing I can think oif is the tree blocking the light on the roundabout, as it was only the other st of lights i saw on the left, not the right.
Different place. Cherry tree is a signalled crossroads.

Do you mean the miami/tesco roundabout?

But there is no exit from moulsham Street onto miami, moulsham Street joins New London Road opposite rising sun pub. New London Road joins the miami but not sure if that exit is signalled. The next set before tesco are.

Ok but moulsham Street doesn't join the RB new London Road or London Road (nkt sure what it's called...it may change along its length) joins it.


The signals before tesco then the next set before the britvic bridge are very close, if that's the ones you mean. But thought they was synced. People used to jump the reds there all the time too genrally. Haven't been that way in some time though to see if they still do. Since they messed thr Road layout up avoid at all costs.

The local mp is an idiotess.

The roundabout was fine until the recent lane changes that reduce capacity and cause tailbacks across the town.
