Does anyone know if the TRAFFIC LIGHT cameras are also speed cameras or just red light cameras please?
I've been caught speeding through a junction by a camera (specifically this one) of which I've also seen it flash at cars creeping over the solid white line when the light is red and just blatantly driving through it when it's red, so yes, it would appear some have the ability to catch both speeders and red light jumpers.https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.7264805,0.452108...
ETA that my post obviously doesn't give a specific answer about the camera in Southampton, but some certainly do.
This one is definitely speed triggered.

But perhaps you mean this one:

Or this one:
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@50.9065398,-1.41876...
Or maybe this one:
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@50.921877,-1.472502...
No idea about those, sorry. I've never been daft enough to go past them over the limit. I mean they're fairly easy to spot.
The other three on that 3 1/3 mile westbound stretch are all speed triggered.
Yup, seven cameras on that road in just over 3 miles. EDIT: and that's just the Westbound carriageway.

Why?
All those "safety" cameras in such a short distance....... the road must be the safest in the world !livinginasia said:
I think you mean “full stops”
They add dramatic effect …….
No, I meant what I wrote. The thing you're trying to use for dramatic effect is called an elipsis (plural elipses).They add dramatic effect …….
An elipsis is three (not more) consecutive full stops, although it is acceptable to use four at the end of a sentence, the fourth being the full stop that ends the sentence.
An elipsis has three uses.
1/ When quoting, you can use an elipsis to remove the unnecessary. Sentences, even when well written, can contain unnecessary text.
For example: "Sentences... can contain unnecessary text."
2/ To indicate broken speech, with a pause longer than a comma would indicate.
For example: "Erm... what's an elipsis?"
3/ To indicate that the writer is implying what comes next rather than stating it and the reader should infer.
For example: "There are two types of ignorance. To be ignorant of something merely means that you've never been taught it. But to be ignorant is to understand a thing and to refuse to use that knowledge. There is no shame in the former..."
