Are these sensors or a red light camera please?

Hi guys,

Hope you are well.

Is this a sensor or red light traffic camera?



Thanks for your help

Sensors. A red light camera would need to show the red light in the picture and these won't be facing the lights.

Hi Wazztie,

Thanks for your response. Ah, so are they defo sensors? this is how it looks from the front:



Thank you

Yes, they sense oncoming vehicles and you'll find them on some pedestrian lights as well for when pedestrians have left the crossing.

A red light camera would be situated back on approach to the lights.

Thank you, that eases my mind!

These are red light cameras and go off with a very bright double flash.

There are also some that are a lot smaller, very small, and I don't think they flash.

A good example is the friargate junction of the a52 in Derby, they're on a pole the height of a lamppost, and easy to miss.
