So if you do manage to get in a queue doing more than 5mph you get your photo taken :evil:

They weren't on Saturday when I went over it, the signs were still up saying "This camera not in use"

Friday night - cameras are on the gantry signs (they are small, but are painted yellow) - speed camera signs were still painted out grey though so i assume they are still not live. Or if they are you can't get nicked... yet.

Chance'd be a fine thing though, i can't think of a more pointless location to put speed cameras - took me 2 hours to drive 50 miles from Stansted to Dartford last Friday - 18mile tailback on the M25, basically the entire Essex stretch (including the bridge) was gridlocked. :rant:
