neeeeeeeeeek Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 The new bit of the M1 from Chesterfield down towards Nottingham has speed camera signs and in some of the gantrys there are speed cameras. Has anyone ever been caught by any of these? It's easy to see the gantrys with cameras as they are in roughly the same place on both sides of the motorway, (so you can see the cameras on the other side) but I was wondering if they are real. Please don't bother posting if you are just going to drone on about not speeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightlight59 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I dont know if they are working but the ammount of cars flying through suggests they are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The correct term for them should be "revenue collection cameras". Regards Angel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Bourne Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Please don't bother posting if you are just going to drone on about not speeding. In that case I have nothing further to add, other than to ask: Why do you want to know if the road-safety cameras are functional or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you going to hitch up to one side of the boring, man-in-the-pub cliched, hackneyed and well-worn anti-camera argument, make sure you get hold of the correct part of the cliche and use the correct tag-line. They have, in fact, everything to do with speed. What else do they do but measure speed? Some suggest, as you meant to no doubt, that they have nothing to do with safety.

HeadingNorth Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 That's not the issue here It may not be the issue, but it is the definition. A revenue collection camera would merely collect revenue. It would not focus exclusively on people who were speeding. These cameras are speed cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
