Esher High Street - question

TMP1969 · 12 December 2011 at 9:57AM

Hi,

Firstly, apologies if I am posting in the wrong bit so please point me in the right direction to re-post. Thanks.

Secondly, can anyone tell me please if there are traffic light cameras at the big junction in Esher High Street (where the big yellow box junction is)? I was following someone on Saturday morning as I am not a local; the sun was shining brightly sideways through my window, I was wearing sunglasses but I was still squinting and I stupidly followed blindly, the car in front. I am sure I saw a flash, panicked and noticed that the lights were Amber but I did not stop. However I cannot be sure if it was a flash or the sun catching on my glasses momentarily in between buildings. I am a total muppet for not paying attention but would like to know if I can expect a ticket this week?

Many thanks if you can help.

Oh, thank you so much. I was fuming with myself for being so stupid and was looking forward to my car insurance going up!!

Thanks again :beer:

If you crossed the stop line while the lights were on amber then the camera will not have taken a photo. They're set to start taking photos after the red light has been on for a certain length of time. 2.9 seconds is common, though it can be zero.
