Red light traffic camera

Hi I have a question and need some advice upon turning into a car park today I was stopped on the turn and the light turned red I think continued as I was passed the point of no return into the multi-storey car park I went back to have a look at the system as was worried about getting snapped I've taken a couple of photos of the dangling dome camera standin


g alone and the black boxes on top of the crossing lights could you help me and advise me whether it's likely that I would have been snapped or if they would be monitoring me to give me a ticket via the camera dangling

If it’s a hanging dome type camera it will more than likely just be CCTV rather than light monitoring.

Is there a way to share images on here

Do you think that with it being on a post nearby to the crossing that it may be linked to the black sensor boxes on top of the lights?

the red light cameras tend to be yellow/grey boxes. if it's a dangling dome camera its probably cctv for highways england, local council or property owner like said above

also the black sensor boxes on the lights are used to sense if there are vehicles waiting so it can queue a light change later. they cant get anyone done for red light violations
