And doing a fine job of parking on the double yellows which are presumably there to prevent other people parking to obstruct the view of anybody wishing to exit from Christchurch Road. Downright outrageous, not to mention dangerous! _________________ Dennis

From your photos and looking at the submission map, the heading of this camera is actually 220 (South-West. Direction of travel to get caught). The submission map indicates 45 and reversible (sometimes traps north-east bound traffic. Does it?

I would resubmit it everytime you see it. Well max of once per day...

Or even illegal? Do convictions stand if the vans are placed illegally? Like illegal wire taps etc.... Yes, you've done something wrong but both sides have to play the game... i think...

I saw a comment on just such illegality recently were a council claimed their wardens could park illegally when ticketing motorists as it was necessary in the course of their duty! What a load of piffle.
In an emergency yes but parking tickets? They're taking the proverbial. _________________ Darren Griffin

I dunno, seems you have to be some kind of computer wizard just to use this site. The pics were hosted on my domain so what difference did it make? It's not exactly easy to keep reporting a mobile camera either.
Here's the 2 pictures, resized to suit. I hope.

M8TJT, I've no idea. It always faces up hill. In any event, does it really matter? The only alerts I ever get just tell me I'm close to a camera, not which way it's facing.

Hi 01342 This is just an answer to your questions, It is not intended in any way to be a critisism or flame.
Ref Pic sizes, they make the forum as wide as the pics, which can make it difficult to read as you have to keep scrolling. I must admit that I personally had no prob.
With regard to the direction. As I don't live in the area, I don't know which way the hill slopes so an indication of compass heading would be good. Does the van always point in the direction that your photo indicates? If so the cam should be a one way cam. Although your software only alerts you to the proximity of cams, other software, given direction info, can be set not to alert on cams facing 'the other way' which is why we ask for direction data on the submission page.
My Mio, for instance would not alert me to your cam if I was travveling towards it (as shown on your photo) because it is trapping vehicles traveling SouthWest, but the cam heading, in the database is North east so my Mio would not alert me.
The purpose of my initial post was to ascertain from you the direction of the cam so that we can correct the database to prevent this.
I assume from your post, that the direction shown in your photo is 'up the hill' can you confirm that this is correct so thet we can update the database.
Again, no critisism meant so please ton't take umbridge, this is just an explanation of my first post

, no offence at all. The van always parks there, in Pamisford Road, CR8, facing towards Christchurch Road. Hope that helps.

This picture size issue is a bit of a pain. If you are trying to link to an existing image on another site, it's a fag.
Personally, it means that rather than just entering the link, I have to download the original image, fire up an image editor program, resize it , resave it locally, then either fire up another FTP program to upload it to my own (tiny) webspce or upload it to somewhere like photobucket and then link to that in my post.
I'm an obsessive so I'm likely to do it, but I can certainly understand if the casual poster would decide it's not worth the effort, leaving us with less of the good descriptions like the excellent evidence above.
As the issue is probably just that it's the ADVERTS that get pushed off-screen, maybe you should put them on the left?
Also all the other forums I frequent allow images to be uploaded directly into the forum post itself....

Yes, thanks for the confirmation. I'll have another look at the map then bring it to the attention of the database admin to possibly correct the az in the database.

This is something I argued over aprox a year ago.
I still don't understand as to why i have aprox 60mm of plain blue on my 17inch screen either side of the posts and adverts, i guess it must be for anyone who only has a 15inch screen, but i asked this before and never got an answer.
Thats 120mm (nearly 5inchs) of wasted space. _________________ TomTom Go 60
