Average speed cameras A40 West London

[Samsbike]

So I think these cameras only run to about turnoff for the Westway. From my observation I cant see any more into London, once you get on the flyover at Westway.

I think its the same on the way back. There are a couple of 30mph sighs as you start going west but no cameras till you descent the flyover past Westway.

Has anyone else observed the same?

Its a bugger that the rest of the wretched route has got cameras all the to the polish memorial.

The giveaway is the road markings. The first camera leaving London is on the back of the gantry towards the end of the 30mph zone.

You’re then under average speed observation all the way until the last camera at Target Roundabout here:

On the way into London the first camera is just before the Polish War Memorial after you pass Northolt airfield.

Then the last camera is positioned as you come down off the Westway Flyover.

https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.5200587,-0.1751163,3a,75y,50.84h,99.08t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sWBXgcBO-RInFHZDwU0ZlwQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

How all the sections in between these endpoints are strung together and calculated is anyone’s guess, but if you look hard you’ll find a camera on almost every exit and entry to the A40 between Polish War Memorial and Paddington.

Bugger so its starts pretty much as you leave Marylebone road. I didn't realize they were on the bridges, cheeky buggers.

So after these cameras going live nearly 4 years ago, and me using the road on a daily basis, I've finally got a NIP.

Doing 50mph in a 40 zone going Eastbound between Acton and the Westway.

Does this mean they've actually only just gone live last week? Will I have another NIP in the post for every day since last Wednesday?

We'll see.

I wonder about these daily....I used to stick right on to 30 in the beginning of the flyover in Marylbone (which is almost impossible as most ppl gun it and I have had ppl overtake Very close), then 40 till I left for the A312...but most of the time everyone's doing 50 or higher (traffic allowing, so I just go with the flow (usually 45, never above 50).

On the way in, I see most "abuse" the average speed limit due to the traffic on the end of the flyover, which makes up for going 50 vs 40, but I have seen some bikes go incredibly fast, so they either did good math or idk.

The A40 average speed cameras between Northolt and Paddington are definitely live and clicking (see what I did there?)

I know people who have received notices of intended prosecution in the last few weeks and when I went into London last week it was amazing how everyone was obeying the limit. That never used to be the case. I know I continued to push my luck, after I got caught in 2019, without any further tickets, but I think it's too risky now. There always used to be someone going faster than me, but not now.

With the elevated section set to 30mph and the pop-up cycle lanes around Euston that journey has taken a significant knock to the fun factor.

Yeah the 30 limit on the flyover is a pain, but the poor old thing is crumbling. In the autumn TfL plan to take it down to two lanes in each direction (and close it at night and weekends) to replace all the expansion joints before they fail catastrophically.

I remember when the flyover was the A40(M) and the limit was 60mph. That all changed about 20 years ago when TfL took it over. From 60 to 50 to 40 and now 30. It'll be 20 soon enough

When I reached the Euston underpass last week I went over the top. Filtered to the lights, hit a green and went straight through. So no worries about getting caught in the ridiculous cycle lane.
