Red traffic light cameras

Do they cover both sides of the road? I *think* I will have got caught catching a red and I'm not trying to get out of it or anything like that.

The box junction I entered where I may have got caught had 3 cameras, the road I was on didn't have a camera facing the lights and I'm thinking I would have got caught on the camera facing the traffic lights on the other side of the road (if that makes sense?).

Thanks in advance.

    Red light cameras only cover the traffic signal and arm of a junction in front of them in the direction they are facing.

    Did you notice a flash? If not, you may be ok.

    Thanks for your replies, Flyingscotno1-how sure are you that they do only cover the traffic signal and arm of junction?

    I'm preparing myself for the worse and will take responsability for it...just hoping there is a slight bit of hope.

    I'm 99.9% sure, but there is always something new I've missed.

    The work commonly with loops in the road not radar and need to have the lights that the driver has broken shown in the picture.

    Thank you so much! That reassures me a bit-will have to wait out the next couple of weeks to find out!
