You can point the camera towards the approaching traffic (like they do with manned speed traps), so that by the time the drivers see the van, they've already been photographed.
As it is now, if you see the van on the side of the road, you slow down as you pass it, then speed back up once you're out of view.
Photo radar was relatively new in 1991 when the front plates were removed, and the vans had to be retrofit to take photos of passing traffic rather than approaching traffic.
