Is this a speed camera?
Discussion
Hope someone can enlighten and not sure if you know the area.
Near tickled trout Preston, of Junction 31 M6. There’s a hill which run from the junction into Preston which had average speed camera in yellow.
My question relates to going towards Salmesbury on A59, there’s a camera after all these yellow average specs, that is grey and has two cameras at the top of it also in grey. Is this a speed camera? Not sure if anyone knows the area?

Before the cameras were placed there, I was stopped by a marked police car for doing 51mph down the hill.... on a mountain bike 
If it is this - https://goo.gl/maps/JKEaA3iq32M2 - I think they are ANPR cameras.

I think that second map only shows a fraction of the ANPR cameras in use at the moment. I spent a day with NAVCIS last year, and I was stunned at what they have access to....Useful people to keep on side!

Thats going towards Preston. Other side of the motorway toward BAE I think OP means. If it is this - https://goo.gl/maps/JKEaA3iq32M2 - I think they are ANPR cameras.

Fun fact. The cameras were put up not just because of speed, but because someone walked in to the road with her head glued to her phone screen and sadly died as a result.
Perhaps I'm missing something, but how are cameras (speed or otherwise) supposed to prevent that??PBCD said:

Installation of speed cameras 'can be' justified by the number of collisions and casualties but they don't have to be.

Despite that drivers exceeding the limit are less likely to be involved in accidents, cause injuries or kill people.It would seem that some drivers think speed limits are notional or for other people so they go faster than allowed. Hence SPEED CAMERAS are installed to discourage these heroes.

- ie, a process of plucking any number out of thin air that's lower than the current one.
