Have regularly gone through the GATSO ones at 80mph when not concentrating and not been flashed, Always slow down for the side mounted yellow ones! I actually didn't think the GATSO ones worked anymore.

All the Grey Gatso gantry cameras have gone now, as far as I know the only live ones are the yellow ones hanging off the side of the gantry, 1 set near cribbs and 1 set on M4, however the pickup sensor is a set of 3 cameras on a pole about 150yds before the yellow cameras.

Yep, agreed. You can always tell they are coming up as they have that pole (assuming that is the pick up sensor) as you come up to them

The poles before are monitoring the speed limit sign so if caught you can’t say the limit wasn’t showing .
If you read this from my earlier post it’s a fairly good explanation of how they work
