Does this mean I can make the bin men in my street collect the rubbish a little quieter ? On that note, What exactly constitutes a "Horn"? I was awakened the other morning at about 04:00hrs by a truck going BEEP-BEEP-BEEP whilst performing a reversing manouvere! Surly this consitutes a &q...

None of the cameras mounted on hard shoulder columns are over the carriageway on my patch, the M1, J6 to J10, And couldn't be, it will be five lanes wide. Are you saying that none of the cameras are positioned above or adjacent to a live lane? At the moment, no. Some of the columns are more than tw...

I am aware of the difference between SPECs, Trafficmaster and other street furniture. None of the cameras mounted on hard shoulder columns are over the carriageway on my patch, the M1, J6 to J10, And couldn't be, it will be five lanes wide.

Evidentally, you have very fixed views. In view of the fact it seems that anyone not concurring with your views is anti camera despite me not giving any personal opinion I shall desist from posting. BTW "not meaning to be rude" then being so and "not wishing to stop you posting" ...

Bombus You first and last post seem to contradict each other. Either cameras cover one lane or they don't! The cameras read the numberplate. The information is stored until the number plate is read again when the time is computed against the (known) distance giving the speed. It doesn't matter which...

And then you get the ones who drive above the limit and change lanes between cameras. That won't help. Every SPECs camera covers all lanes and it makes no difference which lane you drive in.
