*WARNING* - NEW STEALTH CAMERAS ON M62 LEEDS-HUDDERSFIELD
Discussion
A word of caution, noticed some new stealth cameras have recently been installed on the M62 between junction 28 Tingley and junction 26 Chain Bar. This is the stretch the missus uses for her daily commute, there may be more beyond J26. They're not on every gantry, westbound there's one on the 3rd gantry after the entry slip from J28, eastbound there's one on the big gantry before J27 (this one already has Gatsos on it) and another one on the 3rd gantry after the entry slip from J27.
These cameras are both forward and rearward facing, they can be seen on the very far left of the gantry as you drive under it, they're on a shelf located lower down than the electronic speed limit signs. These cameras are not Gatsos, they are in addition to and work independently of any existing Gatsos and do not rely on the lines on the road, ie they will still be reading your speed even when you have travelled beyond the white line markings in the lanes. Incidentally, and this is commonly known, the Gatsos themselves are switched on at all times, even when the variable speed signs are not illuminated, they will capture vehicles travelling in excess of 70mph when the signs are not illuminated (I have seen them flash in these circumstances on numerous occasions).
These new style cameras have already been reported in the press earlier in the year, see link to article below (including a photo illustration) and are now officially resident in West Yorkshire.
BEWARE...Big Brother is watching you!
