Just a theoretical question...asking for a friend.

Say I'm following behind the caravan and I went through the lights on amber and just over the speed limit towards this camera on the right of the snap,

is the camera looking at direction towards or away, cars passing it from behind, has my friend been snapped?

Thank you in advance!

Definitely a Gatso (despite it having no identification label) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_limit_enforcem...
That type is not approved for forward facing enforcement. OP and his theoretical friend can relax. smile

It also works on the induction loops you can see in the road, so muppets drive or ride around them to jump the lights undetected
