peasepud 59 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 All I was saying is that there is a camera (of the type I posted a pic of) which is a speed camera at the point where you leave the Coast Road for Benfield Road if you are heading east. Which seems to match SMOs description of its location. If thats the camera SMO's on about then its 100% definitely a speed one, if Mr Bobby has gone through it numerous times at speeds over 50mph and not got a ticket then hes either very lucky, proven its a dummy camera or about to get banned!

snakehips 0 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Approaching the Billy Mill roundabout has to be one of the better euphemisms in the Viz Profanisaurus btw. A colleague once asked me if such a place exists North Tyneside - famed at last Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyshinton 59 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 We (I) seem to be at cross purposes here. The camera that you posted a picture of has been there for at least a year. Those two are definatley speed cameras. When the smooth man said new cameras I thought he was indeed referrring to the new cameras which have been recently installed on the coast road some situated by the slip road onto Benfield road and some on the slip road approaching wills factory this are congestion cameras. Billy Mill name a large island 3 miles of the north easy coast? 5, 4 and 10 letters . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . Billy Mill Roundabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smooth Operator 10 Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 Confusion reigns! The big fuck off yellow ones are speed cameras, I remember there was hoo-har cos they'd not been switched on for the first 6 months they were installed and they were wondering why they hadn't collected any fines! Until someone can conclusively prove to me that the small black ones aren't speed cameras then I'm the bastard in the black Zafira on the Coast road doing 20 mph!

Still believe though that they have to tell you its an average speed trap. Also if it is then the next cameras will be before the next junction otherwise people will appear to take three weeks to travel half a mile!

JawD 99 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 The yellow ones speed cameras. The average speed ones that you get on motorways are called something like SPECS. They are high above the lane and look like: I also read that you can avoid detection by them by leaving the speed "zone" in a different lane to you started. Never tested that like.

Rob W 0 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 the large dark blue ones facing the traffic with two aeriels sticking out the top are (also) average speed cameras - you get them on the A1, the A68 and the Carlisle road for example - they are often about 10 miles apart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CCTV type cameras which are new and have only appeared in the last couple of months are CCTV and DO NOT measure speed. They are to monitor the flow of traffic coming out of the city centre. They could however be linked to the police national computer and dvla and have a look to see who's driving with no road tax as they will be able to record the number plates. Thats why in the document bobbyshinton posted it mentions that these cameras are "High Quality" CCTV - so they can record number plates.
