Hi, there is a speed camera on London Rd Glasgow just before the Celtic Club with the road markings on the same side as the speed camera. If your on the other side and it flashed what happens? Does anyone know if it does both sides of the road.

Cheers

Sounds like a Gatso ( see www.speedcam.co.uk for camera id ) ----from previous no action possible -(but you would be well advised to report it as a dodgy camera)and you should advise police that a road safety hazard exists -(namely a camera,flashing indiscreimately ) --and wait for apologies to flood in .

Not fully sure what's being said. It might be functioning correctly that's what I'm not sure of. As in maybe it does both sides of the road. I was hoping someone would know if it did.

Cheers

3 lines close together -its a Truvello -takes a picture of driver ,as you drive toward it."Dragonsteeth markings" -that's a Gatso (or a reverse facing Truvello)-both take a picture of the rear of the car as you drive away -neither have type aproval (AFAIK)to operate both ways(i.e both directions).
As I said -if it's a Gatso flashing into your face-report it ,but don't worry about a ticket.
