Question

Was driving along the A43 from Jct 15a (M1)to Silverstone yesterday - is that a FRONT facing gatso that is there ???
No road markings for distance/time measurements though - any idea what the range is on this type of camera ?? Blue box instead of grey & it definitely wasnt a trafficmaster unit
HELP !

It is a Truvelo, and it takes a picture as you go over the small strips in the road.
I forgot it was there the other day as I overtook someone, and am now awaiting a ticket as well.

The "Digital" camera's in Nottingham are blue boxes!

They work by measuring average speed over a given distance (Bar stewards!)

If there is another blue box within 2-300 meters of the one you are on about, it might be Digital
