Does this type of camera flash?

I fear it doesn't, so I now have 2 weeks of worrying.

My own fault but the waiting is a bit of a git.

I think it does.

[Howitzer]

I am hoping more people confirm this to set my mind at ease haha

It was on the A38 and I was cruising down, i'd seen the camera signs and even spotted the camera itself but as I had been tooling down the road for quite some I was not watching my speed.

Driving is stressful.

There's one of these on Bolton Road, Radcliffe, Manchester (A665 on the maps), installed after a pished teenager unable to stay on the pavement earned her own personal Darwin Award late one night a few years ago .

It flashes. Hope this reassures .

[Howitzer]

It definitely reassures !!!!

Cheers guys, much appreciated!

Dave!

Are these high to stop people setting them on fire?

Probably. We have them at Ings...

But they do flash. In fact the Ings one had a fault on them year or so ago (Steviebabes went into denial on local radio.. Kev was more professional about it. ). They were foaming, frothing, flashing away if anything pass them on that occasion

nah you just need taller tyre throwers

Yes, I'm sure they flash. Iirc it's a monitron. They are used as a speed camera but also for red light offences.

interesting to see the 'plug and pay' types in the link. Not seen any of these yet.

Does it flash -- how else is it going to capture the road markings at night to give you secondary evidence of speed.

I was under the impression that not all cameras flash.

The Monitrons flash - at least some in Manchester definitely did when they were being tested. They are particularly nasty though as they do not use film and are directly connected to a central control so the NIP is in the post within an hour if appropriate.

Quite a few of them near me. All the new ones going in are of that type.
