Now i dont know the area well so ill try and give as much info as I can.
I left scotland enroute to newcastle heading south last night 1ish.
Id Just gone past Berwick i came to a pub with a Truckpark next to it?
Anyway there is a speed camera bang in the middle.
I went threw at 46 and bang…it flashed!Now no know its my fault
Sounds like purdy lodge which is a truck stop. Either that or the services before it but both are set for trucks. They all are on the SC sections on the A1
There are two settings for these ■■■■■■■ things.
A set trigger point for car speed and a set trigger point for HGV’s.
As far as I know all Gatso’s are capable of triggering HGV’s on national limit SC. aka 40mph.
We have 2 down our way on the A30, Roseworthy dip. HGV’s will set them off at 45+.
There was a thread here somewhere showing inside the back of one with the 2 adjustments for the 2 vehicles.

I am heading that way tomorrow so thanks for the heads up
Your welcome mate! And they work, seen it first hand a few times over the years for unsuspecting foreign wagon drivers! Seen a National Express coach get flashed by the eastbound one aswel.
I also treat all the rest the same like the ones on the A38 near Saltash. Limit is 50 but no one really knows if HGV’s will set them off over 44 ish, who knows?!
