Default What do these type of cameras do?

Just out of curiosity..... there's one near my house and I wanted to know what it's for. It seems to be facing oncoming traffic at the opposite side of the road. Check out the dodgy diagram below!



Cheers folks!

Its a speed camera - called a 'Truvello' or something like that? Doesn't flash and you will see a small series of lines on the road just before/after it!

if its at a cross roads and theres traffic lights there then its proba traffic light cameram, otherwise the would stick it before the cross roads as if ya slow down when ya att the cross roads ya could still speed and kill people, a few hundred yards before is a safer option to place it ( behind a sigh stating a cross road os comming up usually )
