It is also the cameras on the M25. The cameras are set to 72MPH and the system will autogenerate tickets for all vehicles exceeding this speed.
Did it say where on the M1? As this motorway is nearly 200 miles long and goes through a number of police forces areas.
Could be the southern M1? There are fixed cameras at Charleville, close to dunleer. The road next to the one on the south bound side is marked with a sort of grid.
Seemed odd as neither of those are thresholds for speeding - its normally something like 80MPH and then over 100MPH for a ban.
Also, if they had them up it would be all over the news as speed cams are supposed to be deterrents and they're not much of a deterrent if nobody knows about them and they're hidden.
So, yes, wholly skeptical but thought i'd pose it on here and see if anyone else had heard anything.
Not that i speed ever so not at all a worry anyway.
Are you taking about the M1 in Southern Ireland or Norn Ireland?
Camera as in speed and photo evidence using a mobile phone etc .
Add in the new MAP camera on mways .
Speed limit the law says above the limit not plus this that or the other .many Chief Constables are actively lowering the margin they allow in their area.
M1 around East Midlands airport you will see the new cameras .
1. Speeding = speeding = breaking the law.
2. Are the authorities obliged to disclose the presence/location of speed cameras?
3. As you don't speed, you have no worries in either case.

Therefore by definition every fixed site will be known. Normally the relevant speed camera partnership will have the location of every camera site on their website.
