Guest MOLLY Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 If the camera is on an ordinary (A) road. Is on the opposite side of the road to you, facing you will it record if you are speeding or do they just record people on its side of the road taking pictures of the rear? MOLL.

Fairly sure molly that it can only get you if you have the stripes on your side of the road also, usually if the count markers are one side only it is there for what they were supposed to be used for, ie safety, generally to slow peoples approach to a known black spot junction etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mad al 146 Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Now then Molly, what have you been up to? Good question though, I think they only clock rear plates, so they wouldn't be activated by a car from the other side of the road in the opposite direction. But and it's a big but, there are more than one type of camera , some swivel and monitor both directions. Whether this is activated when a car is coming the other way or does it solely focus on one side at a time, I don't know. I'm sure someone will be along shortly to bring us up to speed (no pun.....honest). Al Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MR TEA POT 1,287 Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 You should be fine MOLLY,they only take photos at the back.The reason there is stripes on your side is for people who try to go on your side to avoid the camera in their lane. You will have to take your lead boots off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MOLLY Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 There are lines on both sides of the road. I was doing 40mph last night approaching it (mind on other things) and saw the double flash, but there were cars going the other way. I always thought it was only from behind because motorbikes only have rear numberplates? BUT....... a week ago with the same camera going the other way, i was behind 2 cars, it flashed and i looked at my speedo, 30mph. The cars infront of me would have been doing the same. Just one of those stupid things last night, I always slow right down as it is at the entrance to a small village...infact it was Jultaylor1972's fault, i was thinking about her escapade with the guys who pinched her car the night before Well ill just have to wait and see i suppose MOLL.

tiny tim 22 Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 it cant get you as you go towards it...as said before the lines are on both sides are to get people avoiding the camera on there side by going over the white line and using the oncoming lane Quote Link to post Share on other sites

david2363 42 Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Afraid to say that over the years I have become something of a reluctant expert on speed traps :ph34r: If it was a fixed camera i.e a Gatso or a Truevlo , the only record pics from the rear. And as someone else said, the lines on the other side of the road are to deter people from changing lanes to avoid the camera. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rabbithunter 456 Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 just slow down to the speed limit before you hit the road markings Quote Link to post Share on other sites
