SPECS Speed Camera on Lower Thames St, London
Discussion
Be warned! Its the first SPECS camera that i have heard of in my area, apart from the Limehouse Link tunnel.
A dual carriageway in the City has been unveiled as the country's most lucrative speed trap - making almost £4,000 a day in fines.
City of London Police figures revealed that in three weeks, the yellow cameras on Lower Thames Street accumulated £84,000.
An average of 70 drivers a day are being caught, giving the potential to collect almost £1.5 million this year alone.
The Specs system, the only one of its kind in London, measures a car's average speed through a designated stretch. It is designed to outwit those drivers who brake as they approach cameras then accelerate away.

I didn't think it was SPECS in the Limehouse link, rather they are just digital cameras rather than ones with normal camera film.
you're probably right? I still feel a bit sorry for the people who amble along at a respectable 35-40 mph, not realising that they are going to get done! I get some very funny looks driving with cruise control on, set to exactly 30mph.
