 |
|
| Sorry if this seems like a silly question and I'm sure it's covered somewhere on the site but I have noticed that the Garmin speed camera download only seems to warn of the yellow box type cameras. I wondered about the high mounted blue and green cameras. Are they not speed cameras? I always assumed they were but haven't had any warning of them. |

| Thanks for that. Does that mean that the ones I'm thinking of are just traffic monitoring cameras? They're mostly blue point in both directions and are mounted quite high. Also Green ones. |

The Blue ones are Traffic Master.... the green ones I'm not totally sure but they do sound like traffic monitoring equipment......
Hope this helps...........

Forgot to add.
There's no such thing as a silly question

TM sites just monitor traffic flow and do not measure the speed of a specific vehicle. They should not be on the PGPSW database.
