As from the 15th February 2008 all the speed cameras in the Variable Speed Limit section of the M25 near Heathrow Airport (J10-15) wille go digital and the activation limit will be lowered.
They are currently the older, film type cameras and are set at 90mph when the Variable Limit Signs are not in operation.
The new digital cameras are going to be set at the normal speed limit+10%+2mph when the signs are not in use i.e. national speed limit. (80mph and you're taking a risk, basically).
I can't confirm the activation limit when the signs are set (variable limits showing), but believe it would be the same 10%+2mph of the speed shown by the sign at that time.
Don't worry lads, lots more lovely money for the Chancellor to squander away!
