Maybe they were just using ANPR to check Tax, Insurance, MOT, etc. Would they need a sign then? :-/

this is a long rd, first time they have had cameras there that i know of so come rush hr they will get 90% of all cars going along it. i have had cars pass me who have had to of been doing at least 100+

Is/Was there a roadside piccy of a camera in place, by law they have to advertise, they might be there. Tho' i believe it doesnt have to be a fixed sign, a temp one that they take away with them suffices.

 No requirement in law for the sign, sadly - they can choose to ignore it if they please, as its in the "guidelines"...

This is how the BASTARDS get away with this money making SCAM. Taken fron the Nottingham County Council WEB Site
 
Mobile speed cameras. Traffic safety cameras may be in use on the following casualty reduction sites across Nottinghamshire for the period indicated.

In addition you are advised that speed cameras may be in use on several sites across the County that are subject to complaints being received by the Police about speeding traffic. Due to the ad hoc nature of these complaints it is impossible to publish this activity in advance. This work is permitted within the project guidelines and the conspicuity criteria allowing the use of cameras is met.
Nothing as been printed on the WEB site for two weeks! and when I asked why not they pointed out the safety issue, 'dangle berries' it is purely to make money as we all know. They position themselves where most people drive to the road conditions (i.e downhill on an open road etc and not one eye on the speedo.
I hope the postman doesn't call.

no rd sign warning you of the camera, just 2 doors sticking out of the bushes. with a camera poking out the back.

Hi Rich,
          Where was this then? Wish you luck mate .
   
  I believe these unannounced camera sights are bl**dy dangerous as they divert your eyes from what your supposed to be doing, [size=14]Looking where your driving!!! [/size].

stockley by pass, you dont know its there till you go over the horton rd bridge. i havent heard anything yet so fingers crossed.

I agree, and while I've never been caught by a camera, I'm still glad the law makes provision for me to use a smaller plate and one that spreads over 2 or more lines (which means human intervention is required).

My good old sat nav lets me know when the speed cameras are near, it also detects the mobile units.

I'm afraid your sat nav is only as good as the database it has stored where speed cams are concerned (and that includes the mobile ones).

Just got the Tom Tom GO 940 Live, but my old 910 was just as good as long as you do the regular downloads which updates the fixed speed camera locations around europe, it also picks up the mobile ones.

Mine does as well, I was simply saying don't rely on it because it's very easy for a new camera site to make an appearance before the manufacturer has updated the database.

    That's always been a dodgy road though Rich, i remember when i worked for Securicor in Stockley close before they put in the traffic lights and stopped the right turn there that one Saturday one of our crews in a LWB Transit was crossing the road to turn right when it was hit in the side by i think a Granada doing about 70 mph turning it on it's roof!!! Luckily none of our blokes were badly hurt but the rear guard was knocked sparko and because there was a time lock on the door in to the rear and the fact that it was upside down they couldn't get him out for a while so was lucky it didn't go up in flames as he would have been cooked alive .
