New speed cameras as LHR

[DJT]

A load of these have appeared this week on the perimeter road. Small yellow boxes on lamposts, bearing the speed camera logo with an array of clear LEDs (IR or flash?) , a camera lens and an antenna.

Anybody know anything about these? Cheers.

on another forum they said it is ANPR and speed cams

Interesting. So does the camera logo suffice as the warning sign? It doesn't give you much warning, ie none.

They look like this.

Plenty of warning, as there are now LED flashing speed warning displays all around the perimeter road, and these yellow boxes all seem to be placed on the next post AFTER these digital speed display boards, so no excuse really as your speed has been flashed at you 50m or so before hand.

We've all seen those for some time now. I just thought that for speed enforcement via fixed cameras there were warning signs.

Drivers be careful of these!!!

Apparently they are new speed traps, I spoke to Enterprise about them as I rent from the every so often.. Apparently they are live 30MPH blanket zone, courtesy of BAA.

No such thing as BAA anymore

And its not blanket 30mph either, as parts of the southern peri road where some of these are located are in a 40mph zone.
