SpeedCurb is a fixed speed camera and/or traffic light camera, though it is most commonly used to monitor and record speeding motorists. Predominantly SpeedCurb locations are single camera installations - monitoring one lane or direction of traffic, but there can also twin head SpeedCurb on a single post. These twin camera installations are normally in the centre of a dual carriageway or motorway and can see up to four lanes.
