Hello,

First of all I would like to apologise if this is posted in the wrong place. I looked through all the areas and this seemed like the best place to post.

I drove by one of these this morning and I was wondering if it is a speed camera.

I know what the sign says, however it had horizontal calibration lines after it.

Thank you for taking the time to read the post.

That is not a speed camera.

Thank you for your reply.

From digging online I found that these are weather cameras, however why would they have the calibration lines on the road.

Furthermore, there was a speed camera sign before it (a while back I admit) and ym radar detector started beeping when i got near it.

A weather station may have radar for cloud or prescipitation detection.

Should really be in tech discussion of enforcement devices I think.

Maybe there was once a speed camera at that location, and they have just used the same pole/site (think power).

Didn't think about that either, thank you for pointing it out!
