I've seen one on the A343 on a recent jaunt across country. If I could remember where though, I'd post a link...

It's interesting that it's outside commercial premises rather than someone's house.

I'm surprised with the amount of Gatsos and Truvelos being scrapped currently nobody or parish council has bought one for decorative purposes.
I didn't want to believe my Dad was stealing from his job as a road worker. But when I got home, all the signs were there.

Another has popped up on the Greenfield Road entrance to Pulloxhill in Bedfordshire. Google car hasn't been through that neck of the woods for 12 years so no link! Will try and snap it on the next journey.

Sorry for the double post, but am I imagining this, or did Truvelo once mention that they were behind the SpeedCam website, where there was a gallery of the best and worst attempts of homemade cameras? Any chance it can be resurrected? :mrgreen:

Any more than this or its twin at the other end of the building site will fool too many…
