    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_enforcement_camera#Fixed-speed_and_red_light_cameras

    Wikipedia's not the best reference I know but it's the only one I can find at the moment. I'm sure I have read it from a more reliable source though.

    Edit: Another, http://www.speedcamerasuk.com/traffic-light-camera.htm again not 100% reliable source.

    Don't worry, my brain didn't have its glasses on.

    I confused 'fine' meaning a financial penalty with 'fine' meaning acceptable.:o Well, it is late:D.

    I suppose someone had better suggest the alternative solution of not speeding or running red lights in the first place.:cool:

    Far too simple for some people.. it seems.;)

    Nope, your right about them measuring speed when activated on a red light but there are a small number of 'red speed' or speed on green cameras about that are both a speed and red light camera.

    I don't see the great point of this thread- the partnership websites are kept much more up to date, as are paper maps than we'll ever manage to do.
    The ones im thinking about only have 3 " Speeed Bars" just past the light, surely this isnt enough for a speeding fine?

    The cameras with the 3 lines on the road are Truvelos, forward facing speed cameras. You often find these cameras can be turned to monitor either direction.

    The rear facing cameras are the Gatsos, they're fixed.

    Yes- 3 lines would well be sufficient in all honesty.

    If they have type approval then they are fine.

    So if you go thru a red light plus your speeding, you could get 2 Tickets at the same time?
