Press release

http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/uk/...00/1688711.stm

Months later, the only camera I have seen painted in bright yellow ( box only, not post ) is the one pictured in the press release above

This camera is on the Embankment in London, close to Parliament

Nice short walk for media events, and no danger of the cash cow of speed cameras being impacted

we had the first stripey camera in Plymouth, was the tester for the rest of the country. we got lots of them down here in cowsh1t land but they not all painted yet.

 

ours in torquay are all painted.

 

In Doncaster they're all fluorescent orange,so no excuse for not seeing them and in Chesterfield they've painted all the box parts yellow in the past week.

 

All the ones in Staffordshire that I've seen have a day-glo strip of yellow stuck to the back.

Works well, apart from the ones hidden behind hedges or roadsigns ie Hints on the A5 heading for the M42.

 

Some of the ones round here have speed camera signs on the back. So instead of being dull grey, they now look like road signs!

 

There were a bunch on the M6 roadworks, just South of Preston that were painted bright yellow. Unfortunately just about every other bit of hardware around the roadworks was also painted yellow.

Strange that, choosing a colour that is hard to spot [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

New one went up in Tunbridge Wells a few weeks ago. Nice Battleship Grey

Cheshire M6 to M56 link road still grey. [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

 

Junction 10 off the M11 going east onto the A10 I think there is one painted yellow catching the westbound traffic.

 

There's one with a yellow head on the Embankment in London.

There are also several around Espom/Ewell in Hants that are painted scenery green. They are all fairly new. [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

 

A camera I pass regularly has recently had a fluorescent orange covering added front and back. It was the standard low-visibility grey before.

 

They have painted the new digital timing cameras in Northampton yellow. But as they're on 20ft poles you have to question the point.

 

By the A10 on the M25 the cameras set-up in the roadwork area (50 mph) a covered in something that reacts very well with headlights. I have only ever seen them at night but they light up like beacons.

Even that didn't stop the X5 that had been sitting on my bumper, double flash as he tore past (after I found a space to move over into). There is no helping some people.

 

There are some real classy ones on the roadwork sections of the M11. Very kindly painted bright yellow........









...........but that aint know use when they hide them behind bridges!!![img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

 

They still havn't painted the gatsos in Scotland yellow yet as our fantastic parliament, in their infinite wisdom, have decided the move could be seen as free publicity for the SNP (they're the yellow ones up here).
Real men of genius....
