Warning - A446 between Bassetts Pole and the Belfry!
It seems as though Warwickshire Police have finally managed to catch every single burglar, robber and mugger - leaving them to concentrate on that most serious of crimes - SPEEDING 
There are now two new cameras on that A446 stretch
First is a Truvelo (thus no radar or flash) on the downhill section Southbound towards Langley Mill. It's a pretty substantial installation too, with 50 yards of high-strength crash barrier protecting it - so it must have cost a few bob!
Then there is a normal Gatso, directly opposite the entrance to the Belfry.
The entire road is also peppered with VASCAR marks (white squares), so there may be unmarked plod or even choppers in use as well.
Oh, and take extra care around the turn-off for Middleton, as they are building a fully kerbed central refuge, rather than the old "ghost island" before. I bet it won't be too long before someone ends up driving stright through it and taking off a large proportion of the underside of their vehicle

p.s. What is it about the 44* roads

Well the Truvelo "safety camera" proved it's worth on Saturday as the car in front of me "panic braked" down to a near stand-still (in a 60mph NSL zone) after seeing the new device.
But don't worry - there is a school full of 'ickle children only five miles away - so job done

Well here is a picture of one of the cameras, courtesy of the ABD
I drove past it Northbound last night, and every car travelling Southbound (towards the camera) was hitting their brakes. This "safety camera" is going to do far more harm than good
