Speed Camera Details: SpeedCurb speed camera sited outside the International School on the A406 Gunnersbury Avenue, reduced from 40mph to 30mph September 2015. A photo of the approach to the speed camera is pictured below.

SpeedCamerasUK.com says: We've received a high number of emails relating to the reduction from 40mph to 30mph for this speed camera location. Here is a typical email:

I got flashed by a speed camera 22nd September 2015 on the A406 just past Chiswick roundabout outside International School London roughly at 5.40am. It has always been a 40mph road it has recently changed down to 30mph. There was no warning of the change and only one 30mph sign high up on a lamp post bad visibility is poor. Where the speed camera lines are there is a 40mph sign, I drove at 40mph and got flashed I have driven this same route for nearly 10 years and I have evidence of the confusion of signs and not enough signs to state it has changed down to a 30mph road whilst taking my photos I was there 15mins. I think about 50 vehicles have been flashed as there is no warning of the change and lack of 30mph signs.

Another motorist writes:

Gunnersbury Road A406, which has been commented about on your site. I recently got hit by this one, having driven regularly at 40mph on this stretch and being totally unaware of the changes. I drove along here this morning and noted that there are, in a matter of only a couple of hundred yards, no less than three different speed limits shown.....30pmh then 20mph then 40mph. Confusing? No doubt a great revenue raiser! Yesterday, driving southbound and approaching this zone, I counted three vehicles being flashed, travelling north. Is this confusing signage fair?

Another motorist writes (15 July 2016):

I write regarding speed camera ref #GL145. Is there anything that can be done through consorted effort to challenge this camera. I have just received a letter re travelling at 36mph past this camera on 2 July. I have driven along this road almost every day for the last 20 years, observing a 40mph speed limit. The signs are extremely confusing with a 20mph sign at the layby, a 40mph sign at the camera itself, and a new 30mph sign that I've only noticed checking the road after receiving my letter. I feel this is deliberately misleading. I'm not a 'boy racer' and haven't had a speeding ticket for over 25 years. And I have travelled past this camera several time since 2 July, innocently thinking I was observing a 40mph speed limit - more nasty letters could be on the way. There are several local discussions groups where people are outraged at the ticket or tickets they've received. One person now has 9 pints on their licence due to 3 tickets incurred in the space of 2-3 days. There MUST be something that can be done against this misleading, money-making camera - this isn't justice.

Another motorist writes (3rd January 2017):

I have read various posts on your site from people that have been coaught by this camera travelling between 35mph - 40mph. I got caught in July 16 and wrote back accepting the penalty. I only received a letter 2 weeks ago confirming that a fine and 3 points would be allocated.

I am now thinking about contesting this but wanted to know if you know of anyone that has contested this and won?
