Today I have read on the LHRENTHUSIASTS io site , that Hounslow council is changing the speed limits of the roads about the airport . This is in the name of Climate change and has nothing to do with fleecing motorists of their final few pennies ! Speeds down to 30 or 20 mph and loads of cameras ! Bath Road and Great West Road were mentioned among others . That is 20 mph on a dual carriageway ! ( No political rant - YET ) Chrisj

There have been speed limits on the Southern perimeter road for over a year now, 40mph from M25 end to Q roundabout, 30mph from there to Hatton cross. I've always thought these would be an extension of the drop off charges....still could be the case.
Over the time these camera restrictions have been in place I've yet to hear of anyone being convicted of speeding, this includes work colleagues that use the perimeter road daily or the fleet of 50+ trucks that also use the road daily. 🤔

Yes , the limits on the perimeter roads have been there for some time but I understand the new restrictions are on the 'Public ' roads outside of the airport . The likes of the Bath Road and Great Western Road . M25 will be next but that would be a big increase of the usual speed available on the M25 !! Chrisj
