Stealth Speed Cameras 'Watch Out'

[dan930]

These new variables do near clacket do work but the older over gantry type do not. Something with the speed signs on the gantry is not legal due to size or font so they cannot issue fines from them but I'm sure that's soon to be resolved. Also there's the average speed cameras from the a2 junction to the tolls and over Dartford bridge (which is soon to be 20mph soon for roadworks for carraigeway alignment and removal of toll booths)

20mph

The smart cameras do work as the signs now have type approval from the home office

Also these are all the smart motorways that exist and that are planned over the next few years

20mph

To be honest it hasn't been moving faster than 5mph for the past few days. Its so they can dismantle the tolls and realign the motorway as its going to a congestion charge type thing

Seed cameras are a nuisance and a necessity, I'm fine with having them around, but not when they are hidden and "stealth" like these. They are supposed to be a deterrent, not a cash cow.

Why do you think there stealth?

Just cos its grey?  The standard variable speed cameras on loads of motorways are grey,  all they have done is condensed 4 cameras into one, at least it hangs off the side so you can have a chance of seeing it rather than being hidden by the bloody sign its enforcing

Do they take a shot of the rear or front of the car
