mini-gatso's - newport rd

[sorrento205]

In both directions at the Rover Way junction there are new (a week or two old?) mini gatso's? with distance reference lines painted on the tarmac. These are presumably there to catch people speeding up to make the lights?

Just a heads up anyway.

i was down there this afternoon, did not notice anything

[sorrento205]

they are up high, not like regular gatso's, about 25ft maybe

Not seen them but could they be there to catch people who jump red lights. Like the ones on Manor Way.

[wonkysid]

i thought mini gatso were placed besides a van, seen a set up like it in wiltshire a while back

Yep, on the corner where TGI Fridays is, hidden behind a tree, with wonky road markings painted on the junction, a junction that is utter arse anyways they have made worse

I saw then as being like the ones on the corner park llantrisant junction, as in they catch doing a red and record the speed you did it at, double whammy.




I may be totally wrong though

I think I may have been caught by this camera earlier today. I thought Newport Road was 40mph here but I am kicking myself and thinking it's actually 30 here, and only goes to 40 past Rumney shops

If the gatso is traffic light linked does that mean it fires only if you have run a red (it was green)?

Cheers

Digging up a relic here but I was flashed tonight by these at 35mph. Doesn't seem very sporting! Are they definately speed / red light cameras combined?

The one at TGI Fridays flased me and a number of cars as we turned right (on green) within the speed limit so something not working correctly!

They go off all the time! Well the one on the corner of Allied carpets has a mind of its own!!

[eskidavies]

they do clock speed as well check brutalbobbys post on this link

I haven't seen the mini Gatso's on Newport road, just the old style one near the Fridays turn off.

These have popped up on north road/northern avenue though...

So there are a couple of the new type on cowbridge road west, but they also have another new camera on the old GATSO pole, is that the ANPR equipment?
