Specs
These cameras are usually spaced about 1/4 to 1/2 a mile apart. The first one records your number plate as you pass as does the second. Based on the distance between the two and the time taken to travel between the two, they can determine whether you were speeding or not (commonly known as 'average' speed cameras).
DS2
A discreet, set-up that utilises pressure sensors in the road. These sensors are equally spaced and two speed readings are taken to ensure accuracy. These areas can be manned or un-manned.
