What was this?
Discussion
I have been up to Silverstone this morning and was running a bit late
Got my foot down coming off the M40 and heading for the Racetrack as I flew up the nice new dual-carriageway slightly in excess of the speed limit
and came up a small incline right in front of me was what I thought was a Gatso Braked hard and noticed that although it looked similar to a Gatso albeit painted blue with a reflective high viz panel it had a single lens pointed facing the oncoming traffic
Any one know what it is?
100 yards up the road I noticed another one on the opposite carriageway pointing at the on-coming traffic.
Should I be worried???

Do a search on "TruVelo A43" and you'll find more about it..
The post and box is still navyblue the only yellow bit is the face of the box oround what appeared to be a lens.
Gonna have a look now

I have posted about this before. The original cameras are still at The Green Man pub, but because the new road bypasses the old one you lose your bearings. From Silverstone towards the M40 the road is roughly the same, but coming the other way it is very different, and as you say, you crest a rise, and boom, you're on top of it. The annoying thing is, they are really invalid now because the road has been engineered to be safer. Wonder if they'll remove them?

They are certianly forward facing cameras! If you look just before them on the road there will be a little white square in the road and I think that is where you get snapped from. They are all digital and you get no flash warning etc....
I know the exact stretch of road you are on and it is a nightmare, in fact from the M40 to Silverstone is one camera nightmare! Dont' you just love Northamptonshire police!
just have to wait and see, and hope!!!

Welcome to Northamptonshire! We are littered with them. If it's any consolation, Northants are pretty quick getting the letters out, so you should know within a week or two.
More insidious are the "Northants Safety Partnership" mobile speed wagons (Tranny van with a hole cut out of the window to poke the video through).

Ar the A43 cameras at the Green Man, firstly they are run off two wires under the road pretty close to the forward facing camera approx 30 metres
Did you brake hard before ??
They are IR flash so you won't know if it did not like your speed
PS The plod have 14 days for your NIP to arrive
