Are slow down signs speed cameras?

[revvingit]

Got flashed doing 35 or so in a 30 one of these having completely missed the 30 sign from a 50 zone - which starts whilst your still out in bear grylls country on this road. Should I be expecting a ticket or speed awareness course letter or are they unlikely to do anything?

[esxste]

Is it one of those things that displays your speed as a warning to slow down?

No, they're not cameras.

[Durzel]

I hope not, I like trying to beat the high score on those.

Yeah, one of them.

And phew.

Some of them do have cameras fitted and ANPR devices. They are not generally used for speed enforcement but they could be, especially if you try to break some sort of high speed record.

No they're not cameras.

I have to drive past one of the stupid things every day.

30 mph zone, green numbers at below 22, yellow 22-28, goes red at 29mph or above and flashes red at over 34mph.

Drives me absolutely insane, don't know why, just can't stand the bloody thing going red when you're travelling at or just below the legal limit. I don't habitually speed but am always tempted to boot it past the sign.

Are they ever used for speed enforcement? Are they certified for speed enforcement? If the latter, you should deffo tell the manufacturers because they are missing that part of their sale pitch.

And why do you chop through user names so frequently?

I gave my explanation in my first post. Do you have difficulty in comprehension of very short statements?

The OP asked a simple question and got a number of answers that have a varying level of information, some right some wrong. Your challenge to my answer is wrong and there you have the evidence. Here's a simple principle: If you know F-All about a subject, simply offer no answer or say so.
Here's another: From time-to-time someone will be able to inform you of something you know little about, just accept it.

Either this place makes inadequate checks or he must have a different account on every computer in his crappy office, plus half the computers in the offices where he spends the rest of his time brown-nosing.

The 'why' is all about the devious propaganda/brainwashing he relies on being able to peddle.

Doh! All the high-powered web police are out today. Wisdom abounds. I can't wait.

How so?

You say they could be used for enforcement? How? Please educate us all.

Don't be (a) defensive; (b) patronising.

You said they are "not generally" used for speed enforcement.

Which means you're claiming that they are sometimes used for speed enforcement.

When asked explicitly whether that was, umm, what's the word? True, yes, that's it, you went into typical pitmanboots arm-windmilling defensive "what I say goes"/"I know everything"/"Don't argue with me" mode. And failed to answer the question.

So, once more:

- are they ever used for speed enforcement
- are they certified for speed enforcement
- why doesn't the manufacturer say they are speed enforcement-certified or market them as such.

I once had one flash me when I was on a bus, I wouldn't mind but I was stationary at a bus stop at the time

Looking at the website of the manufacturer of these devices, it's clear the speed detection device pictured earlier has no Home Office Type Approval.

The fact that the photograph has Croydon Council on it should tell anyone that it's not being used for speed enforcement and I'd be interested to hear opinions as to the legality of them recording and storing data in the form of pictures of cars (and their occupants) allegedly speeding.

No, they can't. They're not Home Office Approved. They're used by local authorities who can not enforce speed limits.

So that claims he was doing nearly 90mph here?

[FurtiveFreddy]

All they could do if you were logged on one of these devices is confront you with their 'evidence' and hope you confess.

Maybe that fits Whateverhisusernameistoday's definition of 'could'?

Confess to who? I suppose the worst that could happen is the council sharing the photo with the police who could conceivably send you a snotogram pointing out the error of your ways.
