What are these ?

On the M54, between the A41 exit and the M6 there are 2 cameras on each side of the motorway (on the bridge) - they dont pop up as warnings on my 910. Also similar cameras just before the Warwick exit on the M40 Southbound.

Any ideas ?

Are they shown here?

In particular are they TrafficMaster sensors??

Dont think so - they are fixed permanantly to the bridges - looks like 2 device a camera and perhaps a sensor ? They've been there for ages so I'm sure if they were speed cameras someone wouldve shouted !

I've driven past many times, but my radaar detector doesnt go off.

Strange !

Try and get a pic of one and we might be able to solve it

Are you sure they are not TrafficMaster sensors?

I know the M54 does have the sensors for this service on bridges.

Hi,

Its a fairly long time since I drove that section of rd, but my Valentine 1 Radar/Laser detector used to get triggered by the lasers on the ANPR's on those bridges, I am confident thats what you are reffering to. They also have them on many of the approaches and exits to Birmingham.

SDM197.

I believe they are ANPR, I've travelled that stretch for years and never had an issue. Embarassed

Hi,

Has anyone seen the single camera located on a bridge eastbound on the M54, just before you reach the M6. I saw this today and wondered if anyone knows whether it's a speed or tax/insurance camera.

It's located quite high and attached to a pole in the centre of the two lanes.

There were no vans or people around.

Discussed here I believe?

Yup! Now I swear I looked at this thread and checked before I posted that it wasn't the same discussion!

Hi,

I saw that info for the two camera's, though this one was a single camera mounted quite high up on a pole, located in the midle of the 2 lanes.

After a closer inspection today the camera is located on a bridge very close to junction 3. There is one camera in each direction and is mounted on a yellow pole. There was a white van parked in the middle of the bridge this afternoon with blue writting on the side something like "you can count on us".
