Saw a silver or white estate car today at the entrance to the Nottingham ring road parked in a layby with a tripod in front of the car with a PIPS camera mounted. The car had the usual gold/orange chevrons on the rear but no markings on the flanks. It would have been monitoring the rear of cars as they passed.

^ Yes, this is one of the uses for PIPS but I think it has speed detection capabilities as well though probably not being used in that way here. Either way, thought it was worth a mention as you wouldn't notice the tripod when approaching from the rear.

Where on the Nottingham ringroad?

There's been a speed camera at Stockhill Lane (just off the A610 opposite the "Garage Door company&quotwink and also on Hucknall Road (by City Hospital.

^ In a layby just past the Nottingham Night as you drive towards the Clifton intersection.
