Hello all,

Quick question, the junction of the M8 in Glasgow which has part time traffic lights at the top of the slip road onto the motorway if joining from Craighall road if coming from Possilpark direction or if going into the M8 eastbound from Milton street direction where there Mercedes garage is, might be junction 16? Anyway do these part time traffic lights have a red light camera on them, I was going up the slip road to join at about 4.45pm so rush hour and totally didn't notice the lights were switched on until it was too late and I'd gone through them, nothing flashed like what would happen if you jumped a camera'd set of lights but just wanted to double check?

HenryG Im in Inverness so dont know the lights your talking about but there are a set of part time lights put up in Inverness a few months ago which I keep forgetting about and have gone through them at red a few times so dont think they have cameras. That may sound careless and dangerous but the particular set of lights Im talking about seem to have been erected as a nuisance rather than to serve any useful purpose.

Pretty sure they don't have them - the way they work many times the lights will turn back to red whilst there is a queue of traffic on the slip.

If there was I would probably have had a ticket by now - couple of Fridays back when the heavy snow hit the slip was blocked by a Lidl lorry and various Mercs that couldn't get up the slip.

After 14 months of ownership I actually got to put my AWD to use!!

I live on Craighall road and as far as I know they're just normal lights, no camera's there as far as I can remember, I'll keep an eye out for it next time I go past it.

Someone must have been digging to bring this back up again biggrin

The lights you're talking about are routinely ignored by people whenever I pass!
