North Wales police hid speed camera in horsebox

Police in North Wales have come up with a new method of tackling speeding motorists. Last Sunday 20 April, officers from the force used a horsebox parked by the side of the road to hide a speed camera. The horsebox with two officers inside was parked on the A470 at Maenan near Llanrwst in the Conwy Valley. This appears to run contrary to Department of Transport recommendations that speed cameras should be made "highly visible" to motorists.
