Variable Speed Camera on M25 - Junction 27 and Junction 26, Waltham Cross (70mph)

70mph speed limit Variable speed camera

This Variable speed camera is located on M25 - Junction 27 and Junction 26 near Waltham Cross in Hertfordshire, monitoring westbound traffic with a 70mph speed limit.

Anticlockwise carriageway of M25 between Junction 27 (M11) and Junction 26 (Waltham Cross) - there are 6 - yes six! over a 3-mile stretch - what look like Gatso cameras on the nearside. They still have their covers on at the moment (3/7/03). There are no generators with them, so they may well be permanent. Located on nearside, first one is just after the Bell Common tunnel (anticlockwise, just after M11 junction). Cameras every half to three-quarters of a mile until the Waltham Cross junction (Junction 26).
