Pay great attention to the new cameras, two are already in operation on the A52 dual carriageway into Nottingham , see attached photograph.
Six further cameras became operational on the A1 between Great Gonerby, Lincolnshire and Oakham, Rutland on Monday .
New Version of Speed trap camera…
Trialling in UK presently, and more expected nationally in 2013 …and these are not so easy to spot !!!..
Pass this on to every driver you know…and drive carefully
Oops, sorry, failed to copy picture for some reason but the cameras appear to embedded in crash barrier structures so are almost impossible to spot. I thought the government had agreed to make all speed cameras visioble so you have a chance of spotting them but this device appears to run counter to that.
Where did that info come from by the way? Someone posted up some pictures of a speed camera embedded in a crash barrier that was being used in mainland europe somewhere not here?? Not sure if its the same one mentioned above?
The story has being doing the rounds since late last year. What is being shown is a system on trial in Switzerland and the unit in the barrier is the speed measurement device.
Logically - and with my ‘instrumentation engineer’ head on - putting it in the barrier will be to reduce measurement errors as it puts the unit as close as is practicable to directly head-on with approaching vehicles (the ‘Cosine Error’).
