The new average speed cameras east of the Rayleigh Weir on the A127
MOTORISTS on the A127 will soon be driving through Essex’s first permanent average speed camera zone.
At the end of January, new average speed cameras will be turned on in a bid to reduce accidents and the subsequent traffic jams.
The cameras have been placed along a 6.2-mile stretch of the road, on both the east and westbound carriageways, between the Nevendon interchange, at Basildon, and Southend.
The current 70mph limit will remain between Nevendon and the Dick Turpin pub.
At the Dick Turpin pub, the road will become a 50mph zone and will remain so for 3.8 miles past Rayleigh Weir and up to the 40mph speed limit at the Southend borough boundary.
