How to find out if there was a static speed camera on M56 J6?

It's average speed cameras all the way to junc 7 [bowdon r/about] and 50mph. Surprised you didn't see them raining or not. Big yellow things. Don't think they flash though and if you did slow down from 60 at the beginning you'll probably be alright.

Thank you.
I did definitely see that yellow over head cameras once joined the motorway. 
(I travelled in the opposite direction an hour and a half earlier to reach Premier Inn and noticed the yellow average speed checking cameras positioned)

It is that flash on my back screen I noticed and wish to learn if there is a static speed camera on that slip road run to join the westbound M56?
Thanks again

Average speed cameras don't flash.  They use infrared for low light.

No, there's no static speed camera on that slip road on to the M56. [unless they put one up in the last few days]

A mate of mine travelled that stretch of the road yesterday and did not find a static speed camera. "A small sigh of relief."
Let me wait for 14 days to pass & keep my fingers crossed .

so it was raining so heavily that the rain obscured all the 1m wide speed signs (ok 900mm but who's counting) on the eastbound carriageway every 500m an hour before, as well as the 1.5m wide signs on the J6 entry slip and you still thought it was safe to join a motorway with ongoing roadworks (yes they werent going to get them finished in the last hour) at 60mph and accelerating? is that about it? 

and for the record, yes those speed signs are all there, including the two 1.5m ones on either side of the carriageway on the entry slip. and they are all clearly visible.

There wasn't a static camera on the slip road. 
The light (flash) I thought to have happened is probably from a motorist flashing to let me to get on to M56.

I was not really speeding by the way. My speed was less than .
