It does, it's listed on the Wandsworth map. if you view a surrounding Borough then you only see cameras from that Borough.
They wouldn't want to make it too easy now! _________________ Darren Griffin |

this bit mentions redflex but the location doesn't seem to match?!
if it IS redflex then it seems to be just another trade name for a redspeed cam (redlight and speed)

There don't appear to be any traffic lights in the photo? |

The camera mentioned in Bracknell is at traffic lights. These traffic lights are always being jumped and there have been numerous accidents as a result.
My guess would be that, in some places, these cameras are used simply as speed cameras rather than redspeed and, in those locations, the video footage is used to monitor traffic - eliminating the need to install both speed and CCTV cameras. _________________ Andy

So where did the idea that THIS (A3 Kingston turnoff) camera is a "Redflex" come from?
There are no traffic lights, it doesn't appear on the map and it doesn't look anything like any of the examples on the Redflex website.
What have I missed? |

Or are there mixed messages?  _________________ Richard

That's the post I was thinking of, but I can't see any evidence either on the LCP site or the Redflex site. |

I couldn't see the connection either, other than THIS, could it be a type of camera someone has noticed?
This camera seems to have more than one post in the ground, as on the setup you have photos of - even if the camera style is different? _________________ TomTom Go 60

Has anyone been able to go back there and see if they have finished installing it yet?
I looked last weekend but it was still as photographed, i.e. work in progress. |

Weirder and weirder...
So the pole BEFORE the camera now has a black sensor pointing at the oncoming traffic and a flashgun (rather than a floodlight probably! ) pointing towards the rear of the camera.
And still nothing on the other pole? |
