Speed Camera Locations

[Kirton]

I thought this might be usefull to some of you:

Click me

that link takes you to www.speedcameramap.co.uk. you can reposition it to wherever you are. Thought it was handy since it tells you the locations of the mobile units... which I hate! lol!

I've made this a sticky for you.

Just altered the link and text slightly, good idea to post this up.

thanks

Think I got caught by a camera today :glare:

Blacked out windowed camera partnership van at the bottom of a hill on some dual carrigeway... I was going 55 till I saw it fwn (50 limit) so fingers crossed they wont send me a fine...

 

[RIK]

this is good for when people are going to meets and dont know the area

I've got tomtom in my car, which i'll usually use if I dont know the area, got all the latest speedcamera's on that. You can also get it to show certain attractions you wish to show (pubs/ petrol stations/ car parks etc). Its a great toy (well worth the 150 i payed for it!)

 

[Turtle]

Do those things work for the mobile cameras/vans etc?

:suspect:

 

[James]

They work if someone has added that mobile location to the database

 

[m1ck97]

It does beep sometimes where there isnt a speed camera. So yes i assume some of the more common places are in the database!

 

[James]

Unfortunately, the one I use has gone subscription only:
http://www.pocketgps.co.uk/subscription.php

£19 a year!

James i really think thats well worth paying. We could even go halfs and share the updates, or get ten people in a group buy and only pay £2 each!! lol

The free database on that site does have mobile locations and tom tom does alert you to these. Very useful to have. The only thing having the out of date database is it says there's gatso's where they arent (roadworks etc) and it doesnt have them where they are!! You cant rely on the information within it so keep your eyes peeled on the roads for ones it misses out.

i think this is the best one,,http://www.nationalsafetycameras.co.uk/nscl/cameras/cameras.html

and this for my area http://www.safetycamera.org/default2.aspx?CF=where no mobiles outside my work week

and this for the rotherham boys http://www.safetycamera.org/cameras.aspx?CF=Camera

i think its cool that they tell you the latest speed it got a car at lol,,

None in my area for 13 miles

i use roadpilot. It is gps based and you update it via internet and if u find a new camera which i have u get £20 off ur subscription. Its every year and costs £60 but worth it. The micro version ive got comes with a laserpilot now which detects laser guns etc. Well worth the investment.

 

[Alienfish360]

Devices that detect the signals by radar thingy are illegal now in the UK, however, speed camera detectors that are running from a database are fine.

I just personally update my Tom Tom for free

This is a good site for anyone who lives in the West Yorkshire area like me.

A couple more... (my two local ones)

Kent & Medway:

Surrey:

I might collate all these links and put them into an FAQ at some point so keep posting your local partnership links up

Speed Cameras wont flash unless ur 10% + 2 over the limit. eg 35 in a 30mph limit wont flash. so 55 in a 50 ull be fine.

thats because all speedos arent accurate enough..so if your going 35mph thru a 30mph camera it will probably get you as your speedo could be out

why would you want to go through it a couple of mph faster risking 3 points and a fine?
