I do approach at the right speed and have followed your suggestion and emailed the Tunnels people see if anything comes of it smile

That gap for bikes is easily big enough to get a Corsa full of chavs through as I noticed one day at the booth. The guy in the booth could not have been any less interested when I pointed out what had just happened right under his nose. I wonder how long I could get away with it for.

It took them 6 months to notice £86k in fake pound coins, I think you'll be okay laugh

You're looking at almost £500 A DAY

EVERY DAY

FOR SIX MONTHS

And people wonder why the tolls go up and the debt isn't paid off yet...

I gave them a £10 note the other week and the buggers gave me a load of fake £1 coins. So i sat there untill someone came out to see me, holding up the traffic, they soon came, and replaced fake coins with real ones.

This topic started regarding the speed humps at Kingsway.
I thought they might be illegal. The regs are in "The Highways (Road Hump) Regulations".
Specifically about not putting humps under overhead structures it's rule 4 Para 6 which reads -

6) No road hump shall be constructed or maintained in a highway:(a)on a railway level crossing or within 20 metres of any rail forming part of the railway track at any such crossing;(b)within 2 metres of any rail providing support and guidance for vehicles carried on flanged wheels and running in a carriageway of that highway otherwise than at a railway level crossing;(c)under or within 25 metres of any part of a structure over a carriageway of that highway any part of which is 6.5 metres or less above the surface of the carriageway; or,(d)above or within 25 metres of any part of a bridge over which a carriageway of that highway passes or any part of a tunnel, culvert or other similar structure which crosses beneath a carriageway of that highway.
Drive carefully and the cameras should show that you were not at fault, but the hump is to blame.

Or am I the only one who thinks they're too severe in their size/build and should shuttup?!

In contact with the Tunnels and being told it's ongoing development and the bumps adhere to regulations...
