New M6 speed cameras?

[tomj_]

There seem to be some new cameras which have gone up on the M6 northbound near junction 18. One set on the previous HADECs arm, then another about a mile or so down the road on their own pole. Anyone got the foggiest? Photos below.




Whist I have seen some newer and more 'armoured' HADECs going up on both the M1 and the M6 in places recently, these are very different.

Something to stop speeding up between camera gantries with speed restrictions?

Looks like the new Vector SR cash machines that dont flash.

Similar to half a dozen set up around Glasgow on urban roads.

"Shona Gaffney
Police Scotland website says "The new Vector SR spot speed cameras are fully contained traffic enforcement systems which differ from the more traditional fixed Gatso speed cameras. The cameras use tracking radar for spot speed enforcement and have multi lane coverage, meaning they can enforce traffic travelling in both directions. The system uses infra-red technology which allows images to be captured without the need for camera flash'."

No they don’t
The only similarity is the colour.

And the two cameras and the two radar panels. And the pole. Nothing else similar at all.

If the cameras' purpose is deterrence, then the lack of a visible flash makes them less effective.

Thank goodness the people deciding to improve our lives in such fashion are elected, consider the implications of their actions and have a good pot of money to spend on this mission critical stuff.

Thank goodness.

Might shock some people coming the other way!

Previous IR camera's used to glow purple at night, so you could tell if they were on or not eg dummy camera's used to be a thing.

I would have thought the big sign on the front of the pole was the deterrent. Anything else is just Darwinian

Bit like the average speed cameras on the A90 between Dundee and Aberdeen.

They are the new cameras that point straight down into your car/cab catching people on phones/no seat belts, like this;
