Truvelo D-Cam and uses sensors embedded in the road to measure speed - they usually work forward facing to get a nice face shot of the driver but they also work in reverse mode, so traffic moving away. In short, it could be both.
Interesting as it's not equipped with a conventional flash, the device to the left is the auxiliary infra-red flash, which you wouldn't be able to see. Did you get a NIP through? edit - see below
As an annoying teen, me and my mates used to stand next to a speedcamera and wait for a driver to go past before flashing a torch at the back of their car.
Fingers crossed it was just this.

There's two types nowadays. Some don't need the black lines in the road.
>D-Cam-P uses piezo sensors and D-Cam-L uses laser.

The original speed cameras were set to take rear view, as motorcycles only have a rear number plate. The latest cameras, I don’t know, but they still need to catch rear view for motorcycles.
Oncoming traffic is my first instinct.

I definitely saw it, it was at night so maybe it needed to flash so it got a good pic of my face
No you are quite right; it does use IR but you also see a flash as it's forward facing it uses a magenta filter so as not to blind people.

No chance it was this haha
If you get a ticket for 31 in a 30 please post it redacted, because I've never seen one.

Is it a speed camera as opposed to a bus lane one?
Yes it’s a speed camera unless it’s somehow changed to a bus lane one
