Barrier Safety Road Restrictions

Request ID: FOI-1943-1617
Date published: 06 March 2017

You asked

I am wondering about the 30mph average speed cameras that are in place on the A2 in both directions before/after the Blackwall Tunnel. I appreciate that the restriction is in place due to barrier repairs. Please can you tell me; 1) when these safety repair works will be complete 2) if the 30mph average speed cameras are active and 3) how much has been collected from fines if they are active. I am very frustrated that on a daily basis I follow the speed limit, yet I see numerous people speed past. I am equally frustrated with the length of time it has taken for these repairs.

Thank you for your email received by us on 10 January 2017 asking for information about the barrier repairs on the A2.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can confirm that we hold some of the information you require.

1) When these safety repair works will be complete

We do not currently have a completion date but we expect the works to be completed this month. The 30mph speed limit has now been removed from the A2 between Kidbrooke and Eltham tunnel. This was in place for the safety of road users when the barrier was incomplete.

2) If the 30mph average speed cameras are active and
3) How much has been collected from fines if they are active.

The cameras are not yet active therefore no fines have been issued.

If this is not the information you are looking for, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.

Yours sincerely
