Benmilky Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Hi guys u have been an absolute idiot today I was speeding on a stretch of road and saw a sign for average speed cameras and looked for them but couldn't see any. So I opened up and went for it I won't say the speed but it was on a gsxr 750 and I was in top gear most of the road it was only as I slowed for an over take I spotted a camera then slowed down does anyone know if they are forward or rear facing ?

Stu Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I am trying to find where abouts the cameras are and see if they are on google maps! normally they are forward facing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Westerly Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Most av. speed cams for normal roads as opposed to road works are nowadays designed to read the rear plate in order to catch motorbikes who happily ignored the front reading ones. Depends on how old they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Westerly Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 The pics I found seem to indicate they are designed to read front number plates but the pics aren't necessarily of the particular stretch of road you were on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bender Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Good luck. Speed cameras are unfortunately only going to get more prevalent, have a Google for speed spike cameras, can have upto a 1000 linked in an area and if your over between any of them it's ticket time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) And remember ... it can depend on what distance they measure off may determine how many times your reported ... Ie may be over 2 camera length , may be over 3 etc ... Edited October 25, 2021 by TimR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidtav Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Hope you don’t get a ticket … since reading this I googled speed camera types. Never realised there were so many different types. I was particularly surprised by a camera referred to as DS2. Just a strip across the road and a short grey pole at either side. I’ve definitely seen these before. But had naively thought they just monitored traffic flow. Not the case! Must be more observant in future! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
