Saltash tunnel

Post by gray »

guys
a friend of mine :wink: entered the tunnel on his bike cornwall bound at correct speed but was a little premature with the throttle on the way out about 100yds before exit
can he expect a fine and if so will it be a average speed fine or will it be on his exit speed
thanks

Do you mean actual tunnel or end of speed limit . cos i have never seen any cameras outside of tunnel.

its not unknown for a camera car to be the liskeard end of the tunnel sometimes ans will enforce the limit if you open it up before you get past the signs

I know there was talk of activating them for funding the fat cats...but yet they only monitor traffic flow at this time.
