New grey gatso's anyone!?

[Nodz]

They are either traffic flow camera's or ANPR.. Only gray ones i see are forward flashing for gatso's and the type above but with red lights in them (like what you have on cctv sometimes), red light and bus lane camera's..

Plus if they are under test I don't think anything can be done (don't quote me on that,lol)..

I remember reading that yellow are local government and gray are govourment at one point but 99% of all new cameras are yellow...

A bit of google assistance and PH seems to indicate they are trial Specs cameras not yet active.

You mean they're trying to see how much £££ they can collect and whether it's worth running them?

Yep, that's about right ;)

I travel all over the country and see hundreds, and have never seen any without warnings, so i was trying to confirm to the op that they are highly likely not to be speed cameras. Dont know for sure.  

Nah, trust me ... they are likely to be speed cameras ... but as not 'painted' or signed properly are unlikely to be active.  Unpainted ones are usually decommissioned ... or new

I do alot of driving around the uk and have seen these for a while here and there, wondered what they are, after just doing a google search it turns out they are flash poles, like said earlier in the thread, they are for areas where speeders are common at night time, used to give a better picture.

Ive only read this and by no means know if its true

I'm 90% sure it's just an external flash for the newer digital cameras now being used in the gatsos!

I drove through those the other day mate, wasnt exactly taking it steady either but hence no road markings and think I saw a 'Cameras on Test' sign at the first one. That bit of road has always been a fast one and Horsham council probably have seen a nice little earner.

There are a couple of these near me with the ‘cameras on test’ sign. No gatso near it so it’s not a flash for a gatso.

Plus that stretch of road is not a quick place (it’s a curved bit of road just past a junction/traffic lights).

Will be interesting to find out what they are.
