 Last week I went away for a late summer holiday and returned home to find that a number of new SPECs average speed cameras had been erected in my absence close to my house. I had to spend the afternoon collecting the speed camera locations to make sure it made the PocketGPSWorld.com Speed Camera Database release later that day.
The A127 is just a few hundred yards from where I live and judging by the number of cameras on the stretch of road between the A130 and the intersection with Victoria Avenue you would have thought it was the most dangerous and accident prone road in the world. There are no less than 20 fixed cameras on the A127 in 7 miles.
These new SPECs Speed Cameras cover a section of the road from just before the A130 junction on the A127 up to the border of Southend where the existing Gatsos take over.
This stretch of the road is currently 70MPH but after everyone is used to the cameras they will be dropping the limit down to 50MPH. Strange that they didn't set the 50MPH Limit first and then install the cameras...
