Just got this from another fourm I use.


"My company makes and maintains speed cameras in the UK (Boo, hiss etc etc)

We have just begun installing in our area the new red light speed cameras, these cameras work the same as normal red light cameras, however, they are now catching speeders as well, they install new sensors in the road a certain distance apart and these read the speed of the car.

They do not require white lines in the road or "Dragon Teeth" as they are known.

If you see the site of any existing red light camera being worked on in the road beware!!!!!

This was the mail I received

"I have been passed the following information, which may be useful:

With regard to the traffic lights on the Holes Bay road near Asda: They will flash if you go through a red as is normal, but they are the first in the country to use the GATSO system whereby through sensors in the road they will detect that if you are going through the lights on green but are over 30 mph they will automatically flash you and you will be caught speeding.

Thanks and Drive Safe!"

If you check through my previous posts you will see who I work for!! "

Google Holes Bay Road - it's in Poole, so why on earth post it in the Scottish Forum?

It does smack of being spam, but there are cameras like that in existence - and we have them here in Edinburgh.
