    It just dawned on me recently (watching everyone else speed by me of course!) that with the new barrier free tolls that obviously their are cameras that read the number plates... which would mean with very little extra they could be used for speed cameras.

    comments ?

    Wasn't sure why it was closed myself, something I've wondered too but I suppose the cameras can't detect speed so it wouldn't be possible at the mo? Sure I even thought the cameras above traffic lights for traffic management were speed cameras before so seems a genuine question :)

    PMd peasant requesting it to be re-opened - i did check other threads so as not to troll.

    Are you not able to work out the speed of something by a live feed ? known distances and time it takes ?

    Good question and is possiblity in the future for point to point speed detection.

    The technologh is called Average Speed Cameras and is an up and coming method of catching speeding motorists in the UK. Basically AN*R / RF*D on a gantry recognises and logs the average speed between two points set at along a motorway and automatically sends you a fine if you reach the target camera too fast. These cameras are nicknamed the "Yellow Vultures" in the UK.

    SPECS systems can, and often do, have more than two points. Fun overtaking everyone through the one beyond Newry for the moment, won't be once they get a fine/points sharing system in place though...
