This is supported by the way the things are designed. If you look at some of the older cameras (i think they are getting better at hiding this on the new ones hehe, either that or they employ a new method) you will notice there are magnetic strips in the road at the distance the camera is calibrated for. These are similar to the strips at traffic lights used to sense traffic waiting on the red. I assume that these are used to trigger the operation of the camera, as I have been driving behind people who have crossed, or had just crossed, those lines at speed right at the flashpoint. Now I have yet to see the same strips on the other side of the road scanning oncoming traffic. Mind you, I am still weary of them, especially the ones setup on roads where there is only one lane either way In all honesty tho its not worth the risk of testing them, and considering your only lowering your speed for say 30 seconds until they are passed its not a huge inconvenience. If that brands me a chicken, atleast this chook aint gonna get fined [Report message to a moderator]
