new speed cameras

They’ve been around for a while. These are average speed cameras found on all sorts of non motorway routes. The A32 and A272 in Hampshire has just been decorated with quite a few of these.
I noticed a pair of these on the 272 a month or so ago. No avg speed check signs though, so not yet active?

They are not average speed cameras - they are a new form of speed camera - with ability to cover both directions with two cameras on one pole - and have infrared for low light usage

It does so by having a single camera facing each direction to capture vehicles in two lanes when travelling in opposite directions. These new ultra speed cameras also do not require painted lines on the road, like many of the older legacy cameras do.
Also equipped on the bi-directional cameras is infrared, low light technology, meaning there will no longer be a flash at speeding drivers. These new speeding detectors do not look like the typical yellow box cameras that drivers are used to seeing up and down UK roads.
Instead, the small camera is sat on top of a tall pole, which has been painted yellow for maximum visibility.

Some have replaced the old box type speed cameras near me, but they appear angled quite high as if they are to point as far down the road as possible (e.g. toward a bend 1/4 mile away). Is that because they have not been set up yet or are they intended to point as far into the horizon as the road layout permits?

They look very much like the Vector cameras, which are used for average speed detection. In fairness, we could do with a better sharper image!https://www.msn.com/en-gb/cars/news/new-stealth-sp...

Four new high-tech speed cameras are in the process of being installed on roads in Devon & Cornwall with a history of speeding issues.
New bi-directional digital cameras will replace older Gatso cameras on Exeter Road in Exmouth and the A385 Ashburton Road in Totnes. Another two sets of bi-directional cameras are also being erected on the A390 at Drakewalls and St Ann’s Chapel near Gunnislake in Cornwall. All four cameras are set to go live in the next few days.
All of these routes have had problems with collisions and speeding vehicles, prompting numerous complaints to local councils and the police from residents.
The cameras, which have been funded by Cornwall Council and the Vision Zero South West road safety partnership respectively, have been erected on bright yellow posts for maximum visibility and have the ability to enforce speed in both directions simultaneously.
Vision Zero South West is undertaking an ambitious programme of new camera system installation, either replacing outdated technology at existing sites or introducing brand new schemes where an evidenced problem exists.
not sure what model they are but seem to be a more intelligent replacement to the old fixed Gatso camerasNew bi-directional digital cameras will replace older Gatso cameras on Exeter Road in Exmouth and the A385 Ashburton Road in Totnes.

we would all have been ticketed
infra red so no flash either , hence a trail of cars all going 35mph etc and no ones the wiser until a brown envelope arrives

Most rubbish drivers seem to nowadays spend their time working out speed cameras rather than simply reading road signs and watching the road.
We really do need a massive improvement in driving standards.

yes 3000 drivers in two weeks is worrying , i think most people would look at these and think .............average speed , judging by the PH massive

Motorola on the sign? I stopped buying their stuff eons ago. That said, I've no idea if they sell anything these days apart from sellin their soul to the highest bidder.we would all have been ticketed
