Does anyone know if the 20mph speed limit is being enforced? I went through there yesterday at 20 mph and cars were overtaking me at 30-40 mph.



You might never find out - but they should know probably within the next couple of weeks.

If the signs are up, assume they mean it - the risk of exceeding the limit and getting caught might be considered small overall (say one in ten) but the impact of the fines and the possible ban etc. is quite high.

In other words - let the other guy find out.

My TomTom Go sat nav database reckons there is a SPECS camera on upper thames street. It shows it on the East bound side of the road just east of the junction with Queen Street Place. There is another on the west bound side just east of the junction with Swan Lane/Arthur Street. Are either of these the one you refer to?

I also see that the combination of Upper and Lower Thames Streets have 4 Gatsos and 2 redlight cameras. Certainly a place to observe limits and lights!

It's a speed limit so it should be obeyed. Coff, coff. Personally if it's in a town then I obey it. In the countryside "of course I do officer".
