Dodgy Limit Signs
Discussion
Just a quicky (or two).
I've seen speed limit change warning signs (with associated 3/2/1 countdown markers) that are a black 30 in a black circle. Looked on the Highway Code website and can't find these anywhere.
Also, what are the guidelines for siting fixed gatsos under the scamera partnership? Do they have to be visible from a certain distance?
How kind.

If they're not in here, they're 'non-prescribed':

These were the same type that some plod got out of prosecution for.
No they weren't.

Top banana! Cheers, Jeff, not listed in any of the regulations and get an email back this morning from the Department for Transport saying they were not prescribed (and could I tell them of the region I saw these signs so they could have them corrected...)
Does anyone have a suggestion for the scamera visibility guidelines?

I trust that you won't be so silly...

Don't waste your time. They're purely 'spin'. I.e. of no legal significance whatsoever. They're just there to pretend that the policy is not what it is.
From memory it's 60 metres in up to 40 MPH.
