Truvelo Speed Camera on Towcester Road, Northampton (30mph)
This Truvelo speed camera is located on Towcester Road near Northampton in Northamptonshire, monitoring both directions traffic with a 30mph speed limit.
Halfway up/down the Towcester Road from Far Cotton to the Tesco roundabout, outside the 'Far Cotton Boys Club', its got a couple of trees either side of it which obscure it from view as you approach it from either direction, but you can see the white markings on the road which give it away. It's not too bad going up the hill towards Tesco because you will rarely find yourself speeding in that direction but coming down the hill it is very easy to overstep the limit. When coming downhill it's on your right and uphill is on the left obviously. They change the direction it's facing regularly but at seemingly random intervals.
