I've seen some average speed cameras on the A2 that have one camera pointing forward and then another camera pointing in the other direction. I too am unsure as to the worthiness of these cameras, as I've seen many a person exceeding the "average" speed. I'd be interested to see what sort of equipment and software they're using to capture thousands of license plates and faces in split seconds and computing all of the speeds as they come out of the other end. Must be some high-order algorithms to think that quickly.
