Looks like the camera before you enter Henlade near Taunton is back again after being removed some weeks ago, but they have either not set it up yet or some person has twisted it round to point away from the road.

I don't know why they bother with that one - even without it there, the traffic naturally slows now, having learnt that there is always queues through there.

What I would (and I thought I'd never thought I'd want to hear myself say this) like to see is a mobile appear there every so often to re-inforce the 30 zone through there - it is, after all, a dodgy bit of road.

going to hang myself in shame now

There's sometimes a mobile camera in the layby towards the M5 junction, and I've also seen unmarked plod parked up...satisfied?!

I'd say tailgating is more of a problem than speed, though.

yes through there yes - specially as everyones trying to gain an extra second in time by nipping in front as the lanes close down...

The camera is now pointing towards the road and they've removed the graffiti that was on the back of it.
