Yay :)

result I can see how much me speedo is out :dance:

There was one of these in Southport. I came off an National Limit road onto a normal road. I thought it was a 40mph road and was doing just under 40.

A sign lit up saying,

"Speed limit 30

Your speed 37"

 

I immediatly slowed down as I didnt know the limit but now did. If there was just a speed camera there I would have carried on at around 40 thinking its a 40 limit. What would be better? Me getting a ticket for speeding down a road which I didnt know the limit and will never go down that road again, or notifying my of the speed limit so I can continue at the correct speed?

They've put a load of these on the A59 from the Junction where I live down to Rufford - They are good for checking your speedo!

Yeah its a cool road that one SRRAE:Dlol

Well, it's only taken them how many years to figure that out.....?

 

I agree with those sign thingys, after all, surely it's better to stop people speeding through urban areas than catch them after they have killed someone.........

I think the speed limit should be placed on the back of speed cameras, they should become a legally visable sign which should not be blocked up by anything.

I think they should too.

 

Some counties do that and to me they are genuine places for cameras, as they are clearly signed and remind you of what speed you should be doing.

 

Many times I have been following some one approaching a camera and they brake hard just incase the limit is 30 and not 40. Its dangerous.

That and when you see a camera you spend more time watching the speedo than the road - which is more dangerous than being 2 mph over the limit IMO
