??? Or is it ANPR? Where they still setting up and not active on my first pass?

Cheers.

Looks like ANPR to me, with an unmarked BMW to chase after the road tax / insurance dodgers.  Seems an odd place to setup in the middle of a road though?  maybe to catch both traffic directions?

^^^ That's what I reckon too.

I could not see any camera signs on the van and there was a police car that passed me as I was went back for another look. Its a bust road so maybe the marked and unmarked cars are "working" that piece of road. Never seen them park in the center of the road and cones bits off with a tripod and all. Does look rather dangerous. They normally have a group of officers to speed to the drivers. This was why I asked the question although its Surrey not the Met which I often see round here. There are also camera signs on that road (no fixed cameras). The limit is 30 and it goes to 40 about 1/4 mile after I passed the camera van.

Oh there looked to be a fold down sat dish on the van as well!

Dish might be so they have uplink to M.I.D / police database.  Sounds plausible and definitely wouldn't be needed if it were just after speed offenders.  I have time for ANPR as don't like sharing roads with people not paying their way.

Innit

There doesn't seem to be anywhere else to park so that's why they're in this middle of the road I guess

I thought chevrons were marked on the road for a reason and traffic wasn't allowed to enter them?

There's a similar van that sets up just along from our office, where the pavement is wide enough for a van to sit on, or on the other side in the lay-by, either way with low tripods facing into the traffic. Usually there's a marked car within a hundred yards or so. The van doesn't have the usual drop-down back windows, so have assumed it's insurance/tax. As I have both, I've ignored them.

 

Although I usually see them with hi-viz jackets on though. Nothing like a good bit of health and safety.

.....unless directed to do so by a uniformed officer.

Wrong date and time on the camera?

I wonder if the Chief Constable was wearing civvies the day he gave that order :think:

Oh and yeah a van ?

There was a big thread on here that I said that to be told by people you can go in the chevrons unless they are marked by solid lines.

ANPR. They'll be checking markers, insurance and licensing things. They do it in Sheffield with a black VW T5 van. Sits in the middle and just scans cars with Marked or unmarked units close by.

There was one in Loughborough the other Saturday, had to glance twice my mirrors because I thought it was a camera van. Plain white it was with no marking.

Looks like an ANPR to me too. They had something similar near Woking about a year ago. Noticed a lot of police around the area parked up, probably ready to nab anyone who flags up.

 

Van was parked in the middle of the road, on white hatch markings then too.
