can i be prosecuted from a front facing camera on opposit side of road i thought all fixed cameras had to be high vis so this should not be grey on front of unit any help thanks

Very unlikely. They usually only flash when you go toward them if they're out of film to alert TPTB to go and change it.

RECEIVED N I P FROM THIS SITE AT COCKBURNS PATH ON A 1 SOUTHBOUND IN THE BORDERS DRIVING UP HILL ON WHAT IS A THREE LANE ROAD TWO LANES UP HILL ONE DOWN DRIVING VAN DOING 58 IN WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A 60 ZONE (I. E. DUAL CARRIGEWAY) THE SAID CAMERA WAS ON OPPOSITE SIDE OF ROAD AND NOT HIGH VIS THIS WAS A FIXED CAMERA

Wow. did it flash?

Get yourself over to Pepipoo.com and complete their wizard. They are better placed to advise you there than we are here.

The setup could be something like this:

Is the camera in that picture a double-header? Do such animals exist?? Or is it rotateable? Or does it sit at one end of the rulers and manage to capture traffic either side of the road?

I've never seen such a setup, or details of one. Perhaps Jomukuk could shed more light?

Sounds like a Truvelo to me.

this one ??


If so - it's a 60 limit. don't say what type it is, but that site looks extremely dangerous ( nil accidents ) .

What sort of van ? But would have to be a Gatso to discriminate AFAIK

Road --- still S/C ??? - that makes limit for van 50 --- but only if Gatso set up to differentiate.

I drive Transit 90/350 in Warks where they do differentiate on size and never seen a Gatso flash a 3.5 van( at 50 on NSL) --to the best of my knowledge they are not that clever - they can tell the difference between a golf type and a HGV,but that's all.
As suggested - best bet (armed with site info ,etc) is Pepipoo.
Only dived in as i've been researching Scottish sites in case i've got to go up in a hurry and was easy to find site info.
