Unlike Gatso speed camera's, Truvelo speed cameras use road strips, these can be seen just before the Truvelo speed camera and in some cases on both sides of the road. They are becoming more favourable over Gatso's.

Someone has painted a £ sign on all of them in Nottingham near the tennis centre Made me chuckle the other day when I went past them.
