Traffic Light Camera system
 Watchman speed cameras are rear facing similar to the Gatso speed camera they use radar to detect your speed and a second camera for number plate recognition. The watchman system is currently on trial before its national installation programme.
This system is unlike Gatso because the radar calculates your speed as your approaching the camera and is constantly emitted so when the vehicles passes through exceeding the limit a photograph is taken. Slowing down while your approaching the watchman is not enough to save you as the system has already calculated your speed together with a photograph of your vehicle.
In the UK your likely to receive 3 points on your licence and a £60.00 fine if your caught by a DS2 system. However a bill is working its way through parliament that could increase these amounts.
Whilst we don’t want to speed most of us on todays roads are trying our best to navigate from a to b in the safest way possible and a small lapse in concentration can result in a ticket and fine. Which is why we need some sort of assistance be it satellite navigation or a GPS speed camera detection system.
Speed camera detectors alert drivers to dangers in the road ahead keeping you and your passengers safe. Whilst it is not a speed cameras intention to catch speeders they are designed to reduce accidents and detection devices help alert drivers to their presence contributing to road safety.
