Being used for a speed survey on an NSL single carriageway A road.

Is it better to cross them below the limit to show that the current limit is working and doesn't need reducing,

or fly across as fast as possible because a few 100 mph measures will push up the 85th percentile and show that the limit shouldn't be reduced.

Just asking wink

I've reassessed where they're fitted and concluded that they are counters not speed detectors. So flat out it is.

Where are they out of interest?
Around the junction of the A50 / A556 at Mere, Cheshire. May be related to the upcoming 'improvement' of the A556 from a 60 mph single carriageway road to a 50 mph limit grade separated dual carriageway.
