Got zapped by a traffic light camera just on the South Circ in Lee just, only problem is the lights were on green at the time. If I do get nabbed will there be any way to prove the lights weren't on red? Would there be photo evidence that would show anything?

Local to me, if it's the one between the land of leather roundabout (now topps/pets/goals) and the Burnt ash lane junction it's been doing it for a while.

It's an older style so I think they still run off film, unless upgraded, so will have likely run out. Worst case there is a picture of you going through a green light and nothing more will come of it.
That's the one, good to hear it's playing up - hopefully shouldn't have anything further come from it.

Cheers.

Some ATS cameras are also speed cameras.
Thanks for that. I went back to check it wasn't a speed camera - it just says traffic enforcement, I've been using that road for years without a problem.

This, got 6 points off one in March.
And they're yellow


This one is yellow but TFL 's own website says it just a traffic light camera. They do mention traffic light /speed cameras being in some locations but this doesn't seem to be one.

As I said above TFLs website says it's just a traffic light camera, they do give locations of traffic light/speed cameras, I've been using that bit of duel carriageway for years and I've never seen it catch speeders, of which there are plenty.
