that will either be a cctv camera, traffic counting unit or ANPR which is used for traffic counting, journey time suveys, or police ANPR.0

Speed cameras need to be calibrated and use some form of markings to show the speed of a car between 2 points.CCTV cameras dont have this technology, YET!0

erm, ANPR distance based CCTV cameras certainly do.
The yellow one you get at motorway roadworks and some permenant installations.
No road markings there.
They use the two readings of a number plate and calculate the speed for the known distance.
The ones with lines on the road use IR or radar to detect distance.
The camera is for photographic evidence, not detection.
Anything on a PTZ mount is extremely unlikely to be used for speed detection, or ANPR (which generally requires a fixed mount / focal distance and IR illumination to be effective)0
