I have my GO set to Warn Only On Route.
If you look on the site map at Lat 51.425116, Long -2.516813, you will find the roundabout junction of A4174 (southbound) and A4175 (northbound) with A4 (Keynsham bypass). Just to the west is camera Mobile:7047@50, on the eastbound carriageway of A4 which is dual. The camera is perfectly positioned, is single direction and should only warn when approaching from Bristol, travelling in an eastwards direction. It DOES warn in that status.
When I approach this junction from the north on A4174, heading home onto A4175, the camera shouts falsely. When I come north out of A4175, going west into Bristol or going north up A4175, the camera doesn't shout. We sometimes think cameras will shout if they are nearby and within the warning distance we set. This one beats me!! _________________ Dennis

Does it do it in Demo Mode?
Try changing the Warning distance for the camera. It might be blanked out by the Roundabout instructions.
Just guessing.8O _________________ Richard

It does just the same in Demo mode Richard.
I can't see the roundabout instructions getting in on the act - for the north to south approach, I get the warning which is wrong - to see it "on route" would entail seeing a third exit (turn right) from roundabout, go up the road some few hundred yards, U-turn across centre reserve of dual carriageway and come back past the camera. It's a mystery. I thought it might be "as the crow flies", but that would set it off for going west to Bristol (along opposite side of dual carriageway) or north (north being on the western side of dual carriageway and that much closer than southbound carriageway) and it doesn't.
I'm too scared to reduce the warning distance just to test it!!
Ah well, c'est la guerre, Hirve. _________________ Dennis
