located in places with a history of serious accidents, and where there was evidence of a speeding problem, or where there was a local community concern. Since April 2007 however, such requirements have been removed. It is still recommended that cameras be made visible and roads with fixed ones, clearly signed, but they can now be placed at any location, regardless of its crash history. Cameras operated solely by the Police, outside the NSCP schemes, do not need to comply with visibility requirements. The funding arrangements for SCPs also changed in April 2007. SCPs no longer keep the funds from speeding fines. After this, an annual 'road safety grant' was given to local authorities, who can choose whether or not to invest it in these partnerships.

The company's products, particularly the "Gatsometer 24", have achieved such a high level of market penetration in the UK and some European countries that the term "Gatso" became synonymous with "speed camera" across a significant proportion of Europe.

The most notable installed base of Gatsometer products in the USA is that in and around Washington, D.C. However, Gatsometer BV now has an American subsidiary, in the form of
