Safe Speed Forums

I recall there used to be a link to a site that describes all the types of cameras on our roads - can anyone recall what it was? Perhaps might be worthy of a sticky in this forum?

Last night going home I saw a police van with 2 cameras in the back windows, I'm fairly certain it was ANPR as the windows were closed and the cameras were on "garfield" type suckers attached to the glass, but a colleague of mine had been through earlier (and unlike me, when he went through the road was a bit clearer and he thinks he may have been slightly over the limit by a few mph or so) and he wants some clarification of my suspicion. Can anyone advise?

TIA
Andy

check these guideilines, near the end page 90?? of 110!!! tells you all about the different cameras, full of info, have jsut recieved a nip, done the pace and printed off 110 pages of acpo guidelines.

Saw a strange looking device this morning - 0.5 miles from the end of the 60 section of the A580 East Lancs Road, a police estate parked in a layby, with a set of blue lights on a roof bar, above the lights was a pair of oblong boxes looking a bit like a cheap CCTV camera case without an obvious lens on the front, just a black hole.

Didn't see anyone further along waiting to stop people, it may not have even been a speed camera but I thought ANPR generally had a chase team waiting a mile or so later?

Anyone any ideas?

Warks police have a Focus estate with a single item about 6 inch diam with a coloured lens mounted on the roofbars - points out at an angle - seems to pop up in various parts from time to time - suspect ANPR as the large Vauxhall Movano style thing seems to have disapeared.That used to have (or appear to have ) most of Warks traffic branch in attendance --almost like a Trafpols day out.
