Go slow: police win the right to camouflage speed cameras
By Ben Webster
The prominent yellow boxes may be harder to identify from next year
MOTORISTS face the return of hidden speed cameras after rules governing their siting and visibility cease to be enforced from April 2007.
Camera partnerships, which include police and local authorities, will be able to repaint yellow cameras to make them blend into the background.
They will also be able to install cameras where there is a speeding problem but little history of crashes.
At present the partnerships are bound by strict rules issued by the Department for Transport. The cameras must be painted bright yellow and be visible
from at least 60m (200ft) away. They can be installed only at sites where there have been at least three collisions causing death or serious injury
and three causing slight injury within a kilometre in the previous three years.
More tax!

hang on, theres a section of road inbetween south manchester towards the m1 where theres at least 20 cameras in one village, all painted dark green to
blend in with the trees.
are these currently 'illegal' then?
its stupid really. regardless of whether you are speeding or not, the average joe will slam anchors on when he sees a camera, before hes even LOOKED
at his speed - just in case. (which will be even later now that he might not see it sooner)
time to get a GPS device methinks
