I was leaving Keswick today and passed this camera in a temporary 30 mph zone (normally national speed limit).

It looks to me like a weather camera/instrument. Does anyone know, hopefully it's not one of those new fancy speed cameras.

Any thoughts/local knowledge?

Thanks.

Pretty sure that's a weather station, it is certainly not a speed camera.

Would a 'full disclosure translation' of the OP be something more like, "I hope to god this isn't a speed camera as i definitely wasn't doing 30..! yikes "?


(As said above, it not a speed camera biggrin )

The bit on top looks like an ultrasonic wind speed sensor.

Probably a temperature / humidity sensor on the left. Box on the right might be a tipping spoon rain sensor (counts mm of rain)
