And I thought it was for old people like Denis and me on our mobility trolleys, warning us of the new speed cam Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy
PS it looked more like something that was originaly designed for pedestrians. You know, something that we used to call a pavement in the old days. However I suppose I must buck up and realise that what used to be accepted as 'rules of the road' no longer apply to cyclists, especially if your first name is Dave Very Happy

You mean I've got to go back and take MORE pictures? This time of the pavement and the lamp-posts! Laughing

...and the kerb stones, and road markings

Write "I must photograph every single little teeny detail" 100 times.

If you do go back, though, perhaps you could also try taking a photo from directly behind the camera so that we can see a camera's eye view - rather than speculating about what might be in the way of the camera

...and then, after you've been attacked by some angry motorist who thinks you're taking photos because you work for 'them', we'll visit you in hospital and bring you grapes

The last pic but one is pretty much "directly behind it", but it was a bit busy to actually stand in the road.... Shocked

Maybe I'll go back in a week or two and see if anything has appeared on the other two posts.

That sounds like a good idea - which is why you're a verifier and I'm a mere member Wink

Sorry, I don't do explaining to wives - I have enough difficulty communicating with my own...

...but you know the saying

Good pics Andy_P2002, ignore the others with their snide remarks they were jealous Embarassed that you arrived first and so quickly.

Hope nobody gets caught in the two weeks before you return, certainly looks like it could be a new version of camera though with all those 'add ons'. Shocked

HAS anyone tried contacting the safety camera partnership in that area??? they will cofirm exactly what the camera is if you ask them, I contacted the south yorkshire safety camera partnership to check if a camera was a redspeed combined redlight and speed camera on fred mulley road,sheffield and they confirmed it was, even though snooper say it is not!!! who is right?? obviously the people that run it are right, so much for snoopers claims that their database of cameras is the most up to date, stick with pocketgpsworld database as theirs states correctly that it is a redspeed, well done Mike A true star.

That's spitting distance from where I used to live and fairly close to where I work.

If I get chance, it might be worth a trip to see if I can get some photos to match those taken by Andy_P2002 for the Kingston one

The other fairly interesting thing, but probably not relevant, is the SLOW sign on the pavement Confused


how bizarre...!! maybe they get a lot of runners?

I'm sure you're kidding but in case you're not, it's a cycle path! And the 'SLOW' warning is because the path crosses a road entrance.


So are they going to start catching cyclists too? The funny thing is that in Greece during the 50's there was a bizzare law (not sure how well it applied)that required the bicycles to have number plates too and i think there is still a forgotten law that says that cyclists should have a bicycle driving license! (Not even the police know such thing exists!)

Could they eventually ask the bicycles to have number plates in UK too?

The first camera looks like a high tech "bird's nest" while all the others they simply look like the work of the devil! Twisted Evil

Read London Camera Partnership. This is a Redflex camera.
See www.redflex.com although this one looks slightly different to those on their website

The LSCP site doesn't even have this cams location on their map. Can't see any reference to RedFlex either?
