Yesterday afternoon I spotted 3 engineers implementing a spanking new Gatso on the side of the slip road of the M621 that routes in to Leeds city center.

just thought I'd better let you know before it starts snapping away :/

Maddy :D

Cheers :cool:

thanks mate - I'm up there on Thursday

Dave ;)

Cheers!

Looks like i'm going to have to start using the old Geodesy more often from now on :(

Can't ever remember seeing an accident on thes stretch. Must be the 50 mph limit. Perhaps school children want to cross, or the police are a bit skint for the annual porkers ball.

*******S!!!!!

near peugeot apparently

It's in a new 30 limit as you exit the 50 (So a bit difficult to slow without causing a pile up!). Not a Gatso though,or at least not a normal one as it faces you. Deffo a speed camera though :(

Sorry thought it was a Gatso, interested if anyone knows what type of speedcam it is?, A friend of mine has already been flashed on Saturday in her Mini coop S (just a single flash), she's not a happy bunny.

Have noticed the signs are also up now

Maddy, flashed by that one? I'm Q relieved if so as I wasn't sure if I'd braked early & hard enough to get down to 30 before I got in range of it & wondered if it was the tracking rather than 'flashing' sort!
Number of injuries pre camera = Zero (Or I'd be very surprised!)
Number of rear end shunts/multiple pile ups likely post camera = Numerous likely.
Nuff said

think its one of the truvelo things . . the forward facing ones that flash as you approach them . .

Where abouts guys? I'm a bit worried now!

I went into Makro this afternoon and came off the M621 at the Elland Road junction. I came from Wakefield (M1), so northbound and didn't see anything.

Is it comming the other way?

Must update the Road Angel regardless.

its right at the end of the M621 at the traffic lights, where all the road works are

Phew!

Thanks man... I can never seem to get down to the 50 on the Northbound stretch.

That bend is too good to waste.

Plus I had visons of seeing 70 in a 30 on some ticket through the letterbox..

See ya all at the meet....

Won't be long before somebody Tbones it. Its right on the bend in line with a bit of understeer. Can't wait for the hard frost or heavy snow. I could do with a laugh. I don't think its permanent though.

it cant be a truvelo then as they dont flash,they are digital with infra red fitted i beleive.ok for motorcyclists as they dont have a front No plate.might be a forward facing gatso but they are expensive and rare.if it has the usual white measuring lines it is a gatso,if it has three rumble type strips it is a truvelo.they also must have a camera sign less than a mile from the speed trap.
hope this helps.bluenose wrx

Its got a single white line and number approx 50 feet in front of the cam.

Amen to that :D . Especially in the wet :D :D

My old man reckons they've just got the green light for another 50 in the Leeds area :eek:

deffo Truvelo i was stuck in trafic there and guess what its got a name plate on TRUVELO.
