New Speed Cameras
 

Well I assume it is one, it's about half a mile in the air and painted yellow, and one the A219 going from Wimbledon towards the A3. Rear facing, in a smaller than normal box, sort of similar in size to a bus lane camera, but there is no bus lane here. Height of pole is somewhere around the height of a street lamp? Only saw it cos I was going the other way.

Keep looking up......

those would be monitron cameras.. there's been a few around here for getting on for 2 years now, supposed to be more vandalproof.

they don't work on radar i think, they use loops in the road

the chances of getting a NIP off these are close to 100% as they are entirely digital and link to the ticketing office via broadband connections

here's the output from one:

Theyve put one up on City Road - looks like a small yellow bird box...

Its by the garage where theres too many idiots speeding with 4 turnings there.

Well saw one car narrowly miss a major prang around there only because the bus hadn't moved. He got into the bus lane to avoid ramming car in front and I swear he passed my window at around 60... :shock:

There are some places cameras are good. Thats one of them tbh.

Damn, did I really just say that?? :shock: :lol: :lol:

Indeed! Allmost missed one 8-[ if not for the fact that I noticed the lines. A split second later and I then realised they were for the ickle high up in the air :shock: :lol: .

Sneeky
 

:( :x

Gonna need to get one of those £99 Camera detectors I think.

There was an aritcle in MCN recent about those, be careful!

I agree with the Cameras to a point, but they are getting quite
sneeky about it

Yep. They have just put a pair of these up (One appeared overnight!) on the A40, just before acton (by homebase, if you know it)

Bloody things!

Dan

there is one just off the A1306 towards the cherry tree pub.

are they forward + rear facing ?
or do they only work in one direction ?

Re: Sneeky
 

If they're controlled off the pickups in teh road, the radar detectors won't work. You could get a GPS with the locatins marked though.

they are rear facing only due to the flash

Sneaky little things, what will they be using next :shock:
