I was in chesterfield this weekend. (I was un able to take pictures)
I noticed there where forward facing speed cam. With the gasto calibration lines BEHIND them!
If any one here who lives in chesterfield can you get a picture.?

I think they where on the A632, between long duckmanton and chesterfield.

Sounds like an adjustable Truvelo (can be swivelled between front and rear facing modes). I have one near me:

There are loads of these in Derbyshire - it seems to be standard practice.

There's even a couple on the A6 north of Matlock which are laid out like a pair of conventional Gatsos, with the cameras on the left-hand side of the road pointing in the direction of the traffic, and calibration lines afterwards, but they are actually front-facing cameras on the wrong side of the road.

I don't think the Derbyshire ones ever get reversed.
