Safe Speed Forums

hi everyone

can a roadside camera flash you even if you are on the other side of the road, also do you need to be traveling away from the camera (mobile camera)

If you are referring to a tripod mounted "mini gatso" then they are only type approved for rear facing photographs. A front facing photograph (and I believe that 8,000 such photographs have been taken) involves operating the unit outside the terms of its type approval.

Does that answer your question?
