Coming up on the bus from East Dulwich to Dog Kennel Hill I noticed on the opposite road workmen accompanied by traffic wardens fixing traffic camera signs to lamp posts.


I did not look on the Sainsbury side as the bus was almost at the top.


Does this mean cameras are already there and this thread has prompted Southwark to come out of the closet or will they now be placed to generate revenue.


Perhaps Cllr Barber could offer some insight

Great to see so many upstanding, law-abiding contributors to this thread. You're so rare to find on the roads round here. In fact, I can't remember the last time I saw a car managing to stay below 20mph on the downhill section of that hill. If we're all for upholding the law, we're all for speeding tickets starting from 21 mph, right?


If we're all agreed to stick to the rules rigidly, then it's fair enough to penalise a few yards of illicit bus lane occupancy. As it is though, no-one bats an eyelid at 28 mph in a 20 zone, and I don't see why we should get hung up about one minor infraction if not the others.


Oddly enough, I've never seen anyone on horseback near Sainsbury's either. I guess people leave their high horses at home when they pop to the supermarket.

People are often concerned that speed cameras are money-making tools. I've often thought that eliminating fines and making the penalty 3 license points instead would be an excellent deterrent (and one I'd be happy to take on the chin myself if caught).

Just got home and opened a PCN for crossing the last part white line at the top of Dog Kennel hill just about to turn right into Champion Hill.

I been up there to have a look and noticed there are these new cameras on the top of lamp posts. There white in colour and about the size of a dinner plate.

I did not notice any signs for cameras on the way up but did notice one at the bottom on the way down were there's another one by traffic lights for bus lane.

So beware when driving on Dog Kennel hill if you need to do a left hand turn.

Why have these fines and seems like cameras suddenly appeared.


There was never a problem before as common sense seemed to rule not revenue generation.


Would have thought it dangerous to turn left from the right hand lane rather then just let the traffic use the bus lane to make these left hand turns.


Southwark love traffic statistics, how many vehicles have used the bus lane to turn into Sainsburys or Champion Hill?


Southwark Council I feel have a hidden agenda in all of this regarding traffic flows.

Thanks for the warning - think you mean turning left though if you're going into Champion from Dog Kennel?

This must've been a red light camera fine, for crossing the pressure pads by the white stop line.

Pepipoo is filled with barrack lawyers and Internet experts who copy stuff from one place, paste it in another place, and then project whatever meaning onto the text they want to find.

I haven't read the whole thread, only the first few posts but THANK GOD (if he or she exists) finally this is being policed.

Why the F do people think they can drive up that bus lane if they're turning left? It's a bus lane FFS. ooh diddums it's a bit tricky having to wait to turn left if there's a bus coming up the bus lane. TOO EFFING BAD. Follow the rules of the road.

Pisses me off all the time when twats buzz up the inside when I'm waiting to turn at the proper time.

Obviously I am a pillar of the community and you should follow my example.

I to0 got a PCN for being in the left hand lane to turn into Champion Hill. I usually wait till I am almost at the top of the hill to move over, but recently I have been cut up by cars at the last minute who have almost crashed into me even though I have indicated clearly of my intention to turn left. From the angle of the photo they must have cameras showing traffic going up DKH as mine is a rear view.

Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
