Worried about red light on A4 (pictures)
Discussion
Yesterday afternoon I was on the A4. I navigated passed the first set of green lights (displayed in image link) successfully and go across the box junction. I saw the second set of lights (ones with blocked out orange and green). Sun was extremely bright so I looked to check if it was red and proceeded (traffic was slow moving) I noticed in my rear view mirror there was no other cars as they had stopped. I am now worried if I accidentally proceeded through a red light. However, when I looked the light wasn’t red as far as I was aware. I did check to see if there was a red light camera in this location online and there is.
Furthermore, the images I got off google street view shows the locations of all cameras

First two pictures at top shows the first camera (I went through these lights at green), third image shows the lights I approached at slow speed and was unable to see clearly a red. AFAIK it was NOT red. However, could’ve been upon slowly moving across. It also shows another camera there. Potentially red light camera or speed camera as there are lines In the road. Although, I believe these cameras are both red light and speed cameras?

did you see a flash from the camera
if so it would be hard to miss even on a sunny day as the flash is very bright
when the lights turn red I believe there is a 1 second delay before the inductive loop that triggers the camera becomes active and will only register if both front and back wheels drive across it,
so if your front wheels are already over the line before the lights turn red then they won't trigger no matter how slowly you are driving.
