Hi,

So have we decided what the cameras on the long poles are on the A249 then ?

I go through them everyday and always wonder "speed or tax disc camera?"

Dear Paul,

Thank you for your email.

These are traffic monitoring sites: the Ł100m design and construction of the new bridge and associated roads has been funded through the private finance initiative by Sheppey Route Limited, who will operate the A249 from Stockbury to Sheerness for 28 years on behalf of the Highways Agency. During this concession period Sheppey Route Ltd will receive payments from the Highways Agency calculated according to journey reliability and safety of the A249 and the TMS will assist the Highways Agency and Sheppey Route Ltd in the monitoring and assessment of the performance. TMS are not used for the purpose of speed enforcement or prosecution for driving offences.

For further information please contact the Highway Agency.

Hope this helps

Kind regards
Rachel Moon, Communications Manager
The Kent & Medway Safety Camera Partnership

Nice bit of detective work there!

Not sure what the policy is on these things but perhaps you could submit this as a "speed camera" location so the guys can log it in the database with the note that it is infact NOT a speed camera but a traffic monitoring camera.

That way it doesn't cause confusion/waste time when someone tries to report it at a later date.

let me throw in my twopence worth , I have this week been installing the cable work and wiring for ANPR cameras on the A338 Ringwood to Bournemouth, they will be bridge mounted and the engineers I was working with say in their opinion they will be used for far more than ANPR , my own feeling is that the specification and amount of cable work used in the installation doea back up the engineers opinion , watch out brig brother is here to stay.....

Hiya Everyone,

I noticed this morning on the A249 just before the round about the end (as you go towards M2, maidstone, etc) there is a new camera...its like a temp camera, not much higher than the black ones.

It is basically a CCTV camera on top of a pole, bottom half the pole is yellow, and there are some yellow rings just under the camera? There is one of both sides of the A249.

Just wondering if anyone knows what they are, as there are already CCTV cameras there?

I will try and get a picture tonight when I go home...I will get the exact location of them as well.

It does look like a bit of a bodge job, as the CCTV camera is being held on top of the pole with some wiring thats just been put round it Confused

Anyhow, will post pics/more details as soon as I have some!

Hiya, not managed to get a picture...Someone phoned me just as I wanted to...hehe

Anyhow, as you come off the M2, then join the A249 (so you are going towards the sheppey bridge) literally about a minute, at driving 70mph, you will see the camera thingy on the left hand side.

I have tried looking for pictures, but cant find anything! If it is a speed camera it might of cought me on Saturday...will have to wait and see Sad
