Can anyone tell me what this camera is? https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.8321713,-4.186961,3a,30y,283.19h,93.32t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1shR191m6GhYaKazKUY99g6w!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

It's in a 60 zone but i was doing around 62-64 :( silly me!!
I just drove from work and got in the wrong lane on a roundabout, ended up on a dual carriageway and had to turn off and get back on the otherside.

    If your speedo said 62-64 you were probably only actually doing 58-62.

    All of which is irrelevant as it's not a speed camera.

    Doesn't even look like ANPR, probably just there to monitor traffic flow.

    There is another on the opposite side of the road, i passed it headed back.
    I showed it to my bro he had no idea what it was, he drives a lot for work and has never seen them before
  • It's one of the old Trafficmaster cameras, used to monitor traffic speed and volume.

    I've seen them before ... I agree with others above - it's traffic monitoring/CCTV type of camera, not speed or ANPR.

    Speed cameras have to have yellow backs, (and fronts for Truvelo).
  • It's an ANPR camera as we have these where I live. The only reason I know they are anpr cameras is the council put on their facebook page to say they would be closing the road to install the anpr cameras.

    There is probably a website that you can use to view the feed to the camera. In Scotland its trafficscotland.org but not sure of rest of UK.

    What about the ones on the M25 to the side of the gantrys. These are speed cameras but are just grey?
