Or am I wrong? Brand new Gatso's gone up on the M4 between J17 & J18. The one eastbound is right by the junction by the first bridge you come to & is directly behind a massive sign. Thought they had to make these visible.
It's not active yet btw, still got it's hood on lol.

It's not a law, it's a guideline. In fact IIRC authorities only had to make them visible if they wanted to keep any of the revenue - if they didn't then they were free to hide them. I seem to remember that the government announced late last year that authorities would no longer keep any of the money, so there's no longer any incentive to mark them clearly.
