OT-Age of Speed cameras

A bit OT, but someone on here will know.

How long have the GATSO style speed cameras been around?. More to the point
how long have the warning signs for the above been around?

First saw them in the Greater London area in 1993, and I think they were
relatively new then.

I first saw 'em in 1994 when I joined the job...was on me way down to
the training school and my Dad got flashed doing me a favour as My MOT
ran out and I wasn't able to sort it due to being in the barracks so
to speak. Fortuantely the unit must either have been out of film or
not had a camera in (such was the case them days)

There was an experimental speed camera on the M4, somewhere near Reading
if memory serves, around 1984. I used to pass it regularly.

Flat wide thing, mounted in the central reservation behind a bridge
support, firing at vehicles going into London. It was at about 6ft off
the ground.

I never saw it flash though.
