hogmaw Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I have spotted some of these things put up recently. Are they speed cameras, or what? The pic shows a bunch of 5 cameras altogether (ignore the street lamp behind it) and I've seen them on the a40 and north circular in london.

hogmaw Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 ANPR oh that's ok then, just so long as they are not for speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Class One Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 They are ANPR's and they're going up everywhere. Good thing IMO they work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Boy Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I noticed a few of those popping up around the A13/A406 junction area, didn't know what they are but now i do ANPR's eh! I did guess/hope they weren't speed camera related, there's enough of em around that area already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 So Doug, what happens when I drive past an ANPR camera without a front plate? Does it get flagged somewhere or does it just skip it? Not that we have them down here yet, or many speed cameras, but I guess it'll come eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH Jake Methinks they face both ways (inbound and outbound) at certain points otherwise they wouldn't be able to get a motorcycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is no numbers on a plate to recognise, then all the camera sees is a meaningless lump, so how can it do anything? There is nothing to flag as it wouldn't be able to differentiate between your plate-less car and a horse. Which is probably why the police don't take too kindly to cars without plates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angarak Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 thauught it was law for ythem to be highly visable and not hidden That law was changed earlier this year so they could be hidden again (e.g. painted grey, hidden behind road signs etc).
