Most fixed speed cameras in Dorset, including Gatso and Truvelo D-Cam units, use infrared or low-light technology and may not produce a visible flash, particularly during daylight. Older Gatso cameras facing rearward will produce a double white flash. The absence of a flash does not mean you have not been recorded.
Mobile speed camera vans operate at 32 known sites across Dorset. Common locations include accident hotspots, residential streets where speeding has been reported, and stretches of major roads such as the A35. Locations rotate, so a camera may not be present every day.
