The Department for Transport revealed that all speed cameras were to be painted yellow by October 2016. This should make most of them easier to see, but what if a speed camera was practically invisible because of how far away it is?
Good to see that the police now have a new tool, 'The Long Ranger,' in their arsenal. A powerful, mobile speed camera that can produce clear footage of drivers from more than half a mile away.
These new Long Ranger speed cameras have an impressive range of over 1km, making them the longest-distance speed enforcer on UK roads. They can also record drivers not wearing seatbelts and people using phones while driving.
RAC road safety spokesperson mentioned that the long-range cameras may primarily be used for catching speeding drivers. Some drivers may be surprised to receive penalties after spotting police cars in the distance.
