N7 speed van - can it do all 6 lanes, north/south?

Passed this white van a few days ago on the N7. It was on the northbound side but I was travelling southbound. Wondering if it is a Garda van or Gosafe & if it can do all six lanes. I assume it is a speed detection van?

Its a GoSafe van.

No, it can't do all six lanes. Technically unfeasible but before that, ask yourself, how can it see over the central barrier?

At present, but not for much longer, it can only deal with one car in the frame at each time. Multiple cars in the same frame means the picture is discarded.

It can however do all three lanes travelling in one direction in that scenario.

Thanks for the info. I had thought about the barrier. Maybe that's why some drivers hog that lane - barrier protection .

Lucky I was southbound I guess.
