Nah i have had speeds around 40 on my bike in a 30 zone many times and the cameras never triggered. I dont know why tho, maybe its a fake speed camera.

Its a strip of road with no houses or visual obstructions or anything btw so i dont think i was a danger to anyone.

How would you know if the camera triggered on your bike? You're not going to get a ticket in the mail ๐Ÿค”

Cuz it has a flash that is very bright which also triggers during the day. Otherwise you wouldnt be able to see the car drivers face in the shot. Idk if there are ones with other types of imaging that dont require a flash tho so maybe you have a point.

Dutch speed cameras have an invisible flash (infrared) IIRC
