Gary, Thanks for the picture, not too sure what they are, they look like some form of CCTV rather than Speed Related, I have included your picture below, anyone any sugestions as to a type?

Scary looking!
If they are CCTV, why are they all pointing exactly the same way?
Maybe a new type of number plate recognition system? |

looks like some kind of traffic monitoring. i had a link somewhere to a place in birmingham(?) that uses a similar set up and people were submitting them as monitrons. they're not monitrons though...

Deffo not run of the mill cctv, why would you need 6 cameras pointing in the same direction side by side.
They look to me something like road toll cameras, where they record vehicles for charging purposes!! _________________ Tomtom Go730T

If they was speed cameras then there should be a camera warning sign back up the road before you get to these. |

I certainly wouldn't depend on those signs to warn you of a camera!
The wording of the guidance notes says something like "there should be warning signs in the general area". Round my way that means "sprinkle a few dozen signs around and that covers all of West London. |
