Traffic light cameras
7 Answers
Does anyone know if the cameras that can often be seen perched on top of traffic lights are all set up to catch drivers who go through red lights or do some of them serve a different purpose? For example, do they have anything to do with the phasing of the lights?

Hi
Does anyone know if the small cameras that sit on the lights catch you if you run a red light, i went through lights today just as they changed from orange to red and may have been speeding a little too, now im worried i may get caught twice for speeding and red light, even though i dont think was doing either, it just plays on your mind when you think you may have?
anyone know, they are small grey cameras, there was 3, 2 were pointing in opp direction and the other was pointing at the crossing
thanks
steve

sorry this more a question than answer but hope it might help. speed cameras usually have a warning sign as you approach. is there any legal requirement for them as most traffic lights in my area don't seem to have them. i was hoping there would be some sort of loophole around this or can anybody suggest some other defence.
