Scotland A1 Speed Cameras

[Snorty]

I was wondering what speed cameras they use in Scotland? It was one with lines along the road at set gaps, looked like a GATSO, but grey at the front with red stripes on dayglow on the other side.

Do they only have to paint them in England? Thought it was mandatory, but these are grey on one side only.

If it wasn't painted in high viz colours it wouldn't have been a speed camera, lines on the road would probably be from an old one, they get moved all the time.

It's a police state up there with regards to cameras, I have never seen anything like it.

You can go from Darlington to Jedburgh for what must be 100 miles and not see one, as soon and I mean as soon as you cross the border and you get to the bottom of the hill there's one.

Saying that i've been to that London with my TomTom with traffic camera warnings and it is constantly beeping.

A GATSO only serves the side of the road it is on. They take a photo of the back of your car/bike.

I believe they can be triggered by vehicles on the opposite side of the road however it doesn't 'count'.

I will just leave this here...

This is a gatso. This particular one is on the A90.

The ones on the A1 once you're into the Lothians go off at traffic in both directions, they can only do you on the ones at your side of the road because you need to be on the road markings for them to calculate your speed. If you take the piss by repeatedly triggering oncoming ones they will eventually track you down though.

Next time take the A7. Ignore the signs trying to make you turn off onto the A68, it goes all the way to Edinburgh. The A7 has no Gatsos, the A68 and A1 do.

I believe you can set off GATSOs on the opposite side of the road (coming towards the camera), I done 50 through a 30mph one and it flashed... no front numberplate though. Didn't even realise there was a speed camera there - its a very desolate road... if you dont know that road, you'l think its a 40, atleast.
