The Flame Pit / Re: Have I been caught?
« on: November 06, 2025, 09:41:04 pm »
Was driving to LBA tonight and got caught by suprise that a new speed camera has been fitted by Apperly bridge. Its that recent that it has not been on Waze yet, first camera I saw is at the bottom of the hill opposite the pub, another one was a bit further on and a final yellow pole with no cameras attached to it yet. Rumoured to become a SPECS array once completed. Does anyone know if these half-finished stretches are immediately live and recording as fixed cameras once one is errected or do they only become live and recording once the final camera is installed and commissioned?

The Flame Pit / Are SPECS/VECTOR average speed camera installations separated by direction?
« on: November 03, 2025, 06:01:43 pm »
So there is this single carriageway road that is posted at 50mph and is enforced via Jenoptik VECTOR average speed cameras mounted on streetlamps. There is this exit that is only usable in one of the directions and I happened to miss it, I pulled into the first lay by after the junction (And passing a camera in said direction at 50) and then got a safe opportunity to perform a U turn taking me back the opposite direction in which I passed a different camera which is almost directly opposite the camera I passed in the first direction albeit this one is monitoring the other direction. I then pulled over and waited for a gap to do a second U turn to get back to my exit.
I'm worried if the camera systems are interlinked and may have wrongly calculated my average speed as way higher than it should be.
How "idiot proof" are these kind of installations? Like does the ANPR system controlling the stretch only check for offences between cameras in the same direction or are all cameras linked regardless of direction?
Example stretch. Eastbound features cameras A, B and C at the end, middle and end. Westbound features cameras D, E and F at similar positions to A, B and C. If a motorist going eastbound passes cameras A and B, but then decides to pull a U turn and then pass cameras E and F (All while staying within the speed limit). Will the system flag an offence between cameras B and E?

The Flame Pit / Re: Inconsistent signage at Bradford Royal Infirmary car parks
« on: June 17, 2025, 11:25:03 am »
Update. Today new signage is in the middle of being erected. There is a project installing new barriers and ANPR systems. The signs state that Saba is going to be the PPC responsible soon. I don't have to worry as I don't use the hospital car parks. But what kind of a PPC is Saba? Are they the ruthless kind that will pursue unpaid PCNs with endless threats/court action or the kind that are not willing to risk taking someone to court due to the legal fees?

The Flame Pit / Inconsistent signage at Bradford Royal Infirmary car parks
« on: June 16, 2025, 02:18:47 pm »
Hi there FTLA community. I've been doing things at BRI for some time now and have noticed the car parks have inconsistent parking warning signage. Specifically in the staff permit holder sections. Some state "All wrongly parked vehicles will be subject to a £60 PARKING charge notice." but some state "All wrongly parked vehicles will be subject to a £60 PENALTY charge notice."
Which PCN is correct for this? Additionally the signs at P&D machines don't mention what company or if the council are responsible for issuing PCNs. Are the NHS/trust themselves BPA or IPC registered? Or are there special byelaws in force? Because usually I see hospital security staff checking permits/sticking tickets on windscreens.
Would love to clear up the mystery of parking enforcement on NHS car parks, cheers.

The Flame Pit / Enforcement cameras for temporary lights, really or just bluffing?
« on: June 13, 2024, 03:48:39 pm »
Hi there. Yesterday I drove up to York and parked as I usually do to visit the NRM, right next to my car park on Carlistle street there are roadworks with temp lights, what caught my eye is that next to the usual "When red light shows wait here" sign there was an additional "Traffic enforcement cameras" sign next to it. After parking I went to examine the lights and site on foot but found no signs of any actual cameras. That got me thinking if this sign is literally just there as a scare tactic/deterrent to stop people from thinking about jumping the lights?
Here is a pic of one end showing the lights and signs mentioned.
