1920.0. "Where are the Camera's" by VIVIAN::JD_WARD (Big John....) Thu Oct 15 1992 14:08

    In today's Daily Expresss it says that equipment (camera's for speeding
    motorists) has been installed at 21 locations on about on about 50 
    miles of truck roads in the West of London. 
    I know that one camera is on the Eastbound side of the M4, Junc 2. But
    where are the other 20 camera's.

    Also the A40 in from Swakely's Roundabout, along the M4 (J4-1 & H'row
    spur) and one near Twickenham Bridge (A316?), apparently.
1920.4New box in old position ???VIVIAN::G_COOMBERSYSTEM-F-TIMEOUT,I need a holidayThu Oct 15 1992 17:208
    
    There was one on twickenham bridge about half way across, a grey box on
    a short , 10' is pole, heading for the M3 on the a316. Last time I
    passed that way it had gone. Maybe they put a new one up.

1920.5It's a monster.REPAIR::ATKINSFri Oct 16 1992 07:578
    
    	There's a detection camera just past the second or third bridge
    between juntion 11 and 12  on the M4.The camera is east facing,and
    it's a biggun, probably a radar tracked camera.

And while we're at it; remember boys, when going through a suburban area
and notice a speed trap, don't forget to flash your headlights to warn
drivers coming the other way.

    re: -.2
    
    One of my mates got nicked and fined for flashing his lights at a car
    coming the other way, to warn him about the copper in the side road he'd
    just passed (not very well described, but you get the idea)...
    
    I think the cop got him for illegal use of the lights.

    "Sorry officer, I went to wash my windscreen and pulled the wrong
    stalk."
1920.10always flash ?KERNEL::MCGOWANFri Oct 16 1992 13:286
    Do the cameras ALWAYS use a flash for their exposure ?
    
    Pete
    (just musing about attaching a strobe flash unit to the back bumper,
    either pointing back at the camera to blind it, or at the numberplate
    to totally over-expose it.)
