2.5.10.2 Camera directions

A speed camera can measure the speed of one direction of the traffi c, both directions, or even several
directions in an intersection, when they are mounted on a rotating base. The same directions apply to
red light cameras. TravelPilot warns you only if you drive in a measured or possibly measured direction.
The measured direction of the camera appears with the following symbols:

The camera checks the speed of the direction into which you are driving.
The camera checks the speed of the opposite driving direction.
The camera checks the speed in both directions on the road.
The camera can check the speed in any direction.

These speed cameras work in pairs, and do not measure your current speed
but your average speed between the two speed cameras. Both identify your car
and record the exact time you pass them. They use the difference between the
two points in time to calculate your average speed.
TravelPilot warns you when you approach one of these speed cameras, but as
you pass by, the warning stays on, and your average speed is measured until
you reach another speed camera of this type. If your average speed exceeds
the speed limit between the two speed cameras, you receive the same special
warning sound as with the other speed camera types.
In the rare case TravelPilot cannot register the moment you pass the second
speed camera (for example, it is placed at the exit of a tunnel where GPS
position is not yet available) the warning continues. Just tap the speed camera
symbol displayed on the screen to stop the warning.
These cameras check if you obey traffi c lights. The warning is similar to
mobile speed cameras: as there is no speed limit given, only the proximity is
announced.
