Default What are those new cameras springing up all over the place?

There's one appeared on the Hammersmith Road westbound just after the
Hammersmith Gyratory in the last two weeks. To me it looks like a bus
lane camera (quite a small box) but as you say it is on a *much*
taller post than a regular speed camera or bus lane camera, and is
bright yellow (the camera unit - the post is standard gray). Besides
there is no bus lane at that point. As far as I can see there is no
way to easily lower it to the ground (to change film etc) so it must
be digital. It is covered in plastic bagging so I could be wrong.

Not sure that the locations match up, but surely there must be a lot of new
camera installations for the congestion charge zone extension?


No the congestion charge cameras (or at least the poles for them) have
now gone up at the Western end of Kensington High Street - different
location and very different type of pole.
