I pass a work zone every day and there is a speed camera by the highway. I always drive at the speed limit because I know about the speed camera and also because I am a highway worker myself. This morning, I was in the middle lane and I saw in my rear view mirror that two cars in the left lane were flying down and they triggered the camera. I saw two flashes in the rear view mirror.

Would I be in the photos too? Would I be mistaken as also speeding?

Thanks.

If you don’t break the speed limit then they’re not a problem so the only people who get angry about them are the ones who regularly break the law.

There’s two possible views on this:
Making the speed camera highly visible to alert the motorist, giving them many advanced warnings so they slowdown and not get caught or;

Hiding it, not giving the motorist any warnings so they get caught.

My views are they should hide it; there’s a speed limit and a law there anyway. A speed camera shouldn’t reinforce this. They should have been sticking to the speed limit anyway and not let the speed camera tell them.

today i was on my way home from the post office when i saw one of those signs that display your current speed. i was going about 10 mph over the speed limit. just before i slowed down a light underneath the sign flashed a few times. is this a speed camera/speed trap? should i expect a ticket?

How many MPH over the speed limit can you go before the camera will take your picture? Just curious. Please provide a website from where you got your information from if you can.
