Double cameras at traffic lights?

Any idea on these? Seen them popping up on a few junctions on the A1 around Hendon.. assume its speed and redlight but why 2 cameras? Could've sworn they had all in one units.. Has the lines painted on the junction itselt Not worried or anything just curious

Are they both facing the same way ?

average speed cameras?

some are also lane control cameras, so if you enter the cross roads in the left turn then go stright or right etc they get you for that.

Interesting, didn't know they had these, would this be a fine only and not points?

Yes, same place as the old red light camera that they replaced.

Could they be the cameras that read number plates to check for valid road tax?

They basically look like two of those smaller gatso cameras, not CCTV. Also they've put those speed measuring lines on the junction so one camera is definetly for speeding

Could be the cameras for jumping the red lights?

Redundancy?

They stop making money if one breaks

Cheaper to install two?

Figured it out, both do speed and redlight but ones slightly angled to the filter lane.
