if the speed cameras in your area are triggered by driving over the lines then you have something unique to treasure.
Gatso cash machines (sorry cameras) are triggered by radar. the device is constantly emitting a fixed radar signal which is used to calculate if a car in the target zone is speeding, if so it takes 2 photographs in quick succession. the white lines in the road are for visual checking that the vehicel was speeding (the distance between the lines is known, the time between the photos is know, so a vehilces speed can be roughly calculated to confirm the speed derived from the radar signal.
there should always be a manula check of the images as it is possible to get erroneous signals which could trigger a false speed reading, and / or to ensure the photo is actually the speeding vehicle not someone else.
if a gatso cash machine flashed once it means that you (or someone nearby was speeding, but there was no film / no camera, two flashes means you've just been snapped.

if you are able to drive through them at over 180 mph the camera can not keep up with you, otherwise if your within the 1/5th of a mile scope of the camera and your speeding you are stuffed.

Are you completely stupid? I think you are on a wind up... but if you're not and you are really that stupid then the white lines are simply a measurement guide, the sensor itself is in the camera.
Dweeb!

stop your car beforehand and walk on the other side will not trigger them
