Gatso speed cameras explained | |||
|
|
||||
|
There are over 4,000 fixed Gatso speed cameras currently in use by police forces and local authorities across the UK, accounting for 90% of all fixed speed cameras. The Gatso which uses radar technology, is used for fixed speed cameras, in-car mobile units, on tripods and can even be used from moving vehicles.
Fixed Gatso
speed cameras are rear facing. This is so the cameras 'flash' does not
blind oncoming motorists. Unfortunately, this also means the cameras are
not always viewable until the last second (as pictured above). The cost of
installing a Gatso speed camera is approximately £20,000, but can cost as much
as £40,000 if located in a rural location, as the system requires a 240v
power supply.
