That's not 'fair play'.
Ask youself what percentage of drivers passing camera locations have had any realistic opportunity at all to see the list and to know the location before passing the camera. It's got to be way under 10% - probably under 1%.
Therefore it's not genuine openness, it's an ugly and cynical ploy to appear to be open.

Also intersting to note - everyone must be driving safely on weekends.
Well they must be or they would have the 'safety' cameras out Saturday and Sunday as well

Or probably because they dont have the traffic throughput and thus income stream to make it financially viable.

Good point.
I agree. If they genuinely wanted to reduce peoples speed, and thus save peoples lives the best thing they could do would be simply set up a warning sign half a mile up from the mobile speed trap area warning them where the trap it set. That way 99.99% of people would go through the area underneath the said limit.
Isnt it strange when complete compliance with a speed limit could be attained, but this can be compromised by policy in order to catch some people breaking it!?
He he, I was jsut about start new thread on this subject.
It's kinda fair play as
And I was thinking
And frankly I think that really isn't good enough.

South Yorkshire has been doing that since the scheme started.
Might be something to do with the fact that the then Chief Con was anti camera, unlike his successor Med Hughes, who's just taken over Brunstrom's throne at ACPO.
It's worth noting that North Wales Arrive Alive (deprived) pratnership publishes ambush sites in advance, but has been known to 'forget' locations on occasions....

If I visited Hove I wouldn't have a clue where "Shirley Drive and New Church Road" are.

The Officer may wish to work at additional sites, if operational commitment allows, though only those shown on the website map.
Errr thats most of the roads in Sussex, and how vague are the locations???
Oh I know what I'll do, I'll stick a copy in the car & then I can refer to it whilst driving along - great. Oh and while I'm at it I'll go & check Hampshires, Surrey, Kent, Dorset, Somerset, Bristol & Cornwall too.
Safety my ass

All the Sussex Mobile Camera sites have signs warning that they are mobile camera sites, and unlike many such sites the signs are within a 100 yards or so of the site, so its easy to know where they are.
Kent on the other hand merely say their camera vans will be in a particular borough and the warning signs appear on half the roads in the County!
The site on Crowborough Hill is in fact immediately outside the Community College and the van is usually found to be there at about 9am!
As I have posted on another thread about the Sussex Camera Partnership whilst I disagree with cameras they are at least reasonable in their sites, publicity of where they will be, and marking of them.

How exactly are they educating people?

FACT:
Money from the fines DOES NOT line the
Partnership pockets - it is used solely to
fund the cameras and any left over will
be returned to the Treasury.
Ahhhh so its not a scam after all!

Two points - don't need cameras at weekends in Sussex. The roads are full of coffin dodging, flat cap wearing old farts that slow all traffic to 25 mph regardless of the speedlimit or conditions.
"The cameras are MANNED!" MANNED! Good gracious! Has Sussex Police's Equality Unit seen this blatant sexism? I'm sure they mean the cameras are "staffed."
