Just out of interest (and possibly keeping for future use).

 

I know that a speed camera cannot be placed unless a camera sign is located before it. But how many miles does it cover, ie before they are not legally able to detect you.

 

Some clever boffin must know.

Last i heard the camera was to be within a 1km radius of the sign.

But just watch some clever t :x: :x: t go and change it.

i don't think there is a set distance m8

as i've seen them a couple of miles in advance of cameras

also on top of the poxy things

only "guidelines" i remember reading was that as well as the warning for camera a speed limit sign should be "close"

im sure that a sign had to be up a) within a certain radius, and b) either when there's a camera actually there, or when a camera's going to be built within 6 months (or so), or up to 6 months (or so) after a camera has been taken down.

but saying that there's a speed camera sign up on welford road thats been there for a couple of years and no camera, although the 'van' does like to hover around there now and again to swell the treasury's coffers :xxx:

Yeah its for me travelling up and down the wonderful A9 from Thurso to Perth. Vans on it all the time. At least I dont have any points as yet from travelling it 9 months and driving 5 years. :tongue:
