Average speed camera - Dunkirk, France? - Page 2

Finally got the picture I asked my wife to take of the 'speed cameras/spy cameras/Muslim fundamentalist spotter' outside Dunkirk on the autoroute. As said there is a similar set outside Calais.

Relax - They look like 2 sets of monitoring cameras, one pointing forwards the other rearwards, used for monitoring traffic flow.
Fixed distance cameras usually work in conjunction with embedded coils, there would be a tell-tale horizontal line across the carriageway, like an expansion joint. It would also have another similar installation approx. 1/4 mile on.

I've got the earlier version of this fitted to my GTR and it's excellent on the route to the Ring.

Don't worry. It's not a speed camera.
It will only be used for the truck: CO² bullshit taxes...

Ah thank you to all the reassurance gentlemen

. That means business will continue as usual and I will potter along well below the speed limit.

I too have the predecessor to the Pogo ie the Origin B2 although it is no longer supported by the buggers. Still alright for Blighty though.

I have to say there seem to be an awful large number of cameras all in the same place for monitoring of traffic flow Neil.
