After the feature on 5th Gear about the proliferation of the yellow peril you attention is drawn to the following,

Just a warning to anyone in Colchester, there's several new speed cameras in Colchester that appeared as if by magic yesterday.

First is a traffic light camera snapping East bound traffic at the light outside Leasure World.

Then there's a speed camera (40 zone) in the West bound Lane on Cowdray Avenue half way between Leasure World and the Ipswich Road roundabout. (That's the same road as the Scooby garage!)

There are also two on Ipswich Road (30 zone) in both directions by the little red post office near the junction into St Johns.


You have been warned and there are probably more that I haven't seen, these are just the FOUR new ones I've spotted on my way to and from work! At least they've painted them yellow even if they are hidden behind trees.

btw - the speed cameras on the A64 York Road in Leeds have been switched back on recently - the citybound ones anyway.

Also - I have more news re the West Yorkshire speed strategy - those who emailed me - if you want the update, send me another please? Its not much info, but any news is news eh?

Spudgun,

Decided against getting a detector recently as I no longer drive long distances etc... But as I now have five cameras within a mile of my house I don't see how I can avoid it, a moments inattention could end up costing me points and wedge, especially if I make the mistake of keeping my eyes on the road and not on the verge looking for more bloody cameras.

Anyone know any good detectors going cheap??

Cheers,

Probably save me a couple of points !

Aren't there sites that list all of the known cameras around the country? I think the better ones also list trigger speeds, camera types and other interesting info.

Anyone know some good links?
