New data obtained in an FOI by News Shopper has revealed the highest speeds recorded by four speed cameras on the Blackwall Tunnel Northern Approach in 2022.

The map below shows the four highest speeds caught by four cameras on the A12 Blackwall Tunnel Northern Approach in 2022.

 

Owners of vehicles that are caught speeding will be sent a Notice of Intended Prosecution as well as a Section 172 notice within 14 days of the recorded incident.

They, or the company secretary in the case of a company vehicle, must return the notice within 28 days, notifying the police who was driving the vehicle.

The matter will be referred to the magistrates court in the event that the notice is ignored.
