UPDATED *** Another Camera Added 17/04/04 ****
5 CAMERA'S - 5 CAMERA'S 5 CAMERA'S

4 Speed Camera's on M53, between Junctions 4 - 5.
Where all the new Road works are.
Where a '50'mph is enforced.

And a New 5th Camera under the last bridge
before B&Q Junction 1. (west).
This is also part of temp road works.
You have been warned...



Note the image may not be as acurate as i would
like as i didnt have the GPS in the car.
But its in that general area.

how long have they been there, if its about a week, i dont think i can leagally attend anymore cruises <img border="0" alt="[cwclocks]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions033.gif" />

went past them Monday and Friday (Today) this week. They are covered at the moment and not working. As to when they will be working i don't know, probably after the roadworks are finished???

That's the whole idea to have them while the road works are
taking place. Yeh the bags were still on Friday 20th Feb, but the camera's are in place and will start
flashing soon enough !!

By the way these are now active and Flashing away !!!

i thought the camera's were just there temporarily whilst theres roadworks going on??

<img border="0" alt="[cwnuts]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions051.gif" />

They are for the road works..

When this post started they we being put in place and it was a week or so after that the plastic bags came off. And i just though that i should mention that the bags are off and there flashing away now...

Yeh when the roadworks are finished the camera's will probably be removed !!!

Hope this helps ??

ahhh phew! as long as they go when the roadworks are finished lol!

me an vicky were going down there the other day an didnt know about them till we seen the signs!

good job they got reflective yellow things on the back of them <img border="0" alt="[cwhappy]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions038.gif" />

Need to watch for the one West Bound, Eastham Rake ! Its just behind the sign that gives you the distances to Liverpool & Birkenhead..

If your in the inside lane you might be too late.

Hope this helps ?

thanks matey im always using that motorway of a morning i'll keep me eyes peeled Cheers matey
:go:

don't think they are just for the roadworks you know the marks on the road have been there for about a year reckon they might leave a couple of them, hope not like

Deffo working, seen people getting flashed from them.

Don't know wheather there going to still be there after the road works are finished. They look like there fixed in for good. I seen temp ones in queenferry today, there different to the ones that we have got.

It my understanding that the type of camera's on the M53 are only calibrated to 50pmh.

So when the Road Works are eventually finished i'm pretty sure they will be removed....

Do you ever see those camera's on 70mph zone ??
That's why they use the spec camera's in 70mph zones...

Ive no ref about the camera's being calibrated at 50mph but ive never seen them active in a 70mph zone !!

The lines that could have been seen previously there were from the last road works..

Hope this helps

This mite sound stupid but here goes...... You no when your on the motorway and go under a bridge i always see little 'camera' like things pointing down in a little green box. Any1 no wot they are?

They are "Traffic Volume" camera's, You see them on most motorways and major A Roads, simply monitor the volume of traffic and traffic jams, thats all.....

didn't sound stupid to me always wondered meself cheers scoob, oh and gary for askin

17/04/04 New Speed Camera added to the list.

Driving from Junction 2 towards B&Q there is a temp Speed Camera, hiding just after the last bridge across the motorway.
As you come around the courner towards junction 1 its after the last bridge and as the road rises for the B&Q Fly over..
Note the image may not be as acurate as i would
like as i didnt have the GPS in the car.
But its in that general area.



Keep your eye open peeps as there may be one
for the other side yet ??

check the start of this topic for the other 4 camera's !!!

All the speed camear's have now been removed ?
EXCEPT 1, which is the one shown above

Hope this helps...
