Who said there wasn't any more fixed scams being installed!

...as they were obviously lying through their teeth!
The A1079 York Road between Pocklington and Hull has been recently infested with truvelo cameras incase anyone goes that way infrequently, pretty much a pair every mile.
I'm not sure if they're live as they all seem to be pointing one way (rather than one doing one side and vice versa) but they're live on the Snooper Enigma database. They've turned a good, quick road into one that is a right royal pain - you simply can't overtake as the cam pairs are too close on the safest overtaking spot (the old Roman road section before Bishops Burton), and there's just simply too many sites on the section leading to Hull...
Of course, tis all in the name of Safety, isn't it?

I'm reasonably certain that there was a piece in the media (of course, spoonful of sugar has been taken with regard to it) that the government were favouring less installations of fixed cameras over talivans... seems I may be wrong, or if I'm right, it hasn't filtered down to the East Riding of York Council.
There was a moritorium in place on new speed camera site approvals from about April last year to January this year (?).
The Observer credited me with the achievement.

Looks like new cameras going in on the A452 Kenilworth Road, near Stonebridge,Warwickshire, in the new 50mph limit.
The posts were being cemented in place this afternoon.
This was a 70mph Dual Carriageway, and everyone ignores the flashing 50mph signs, but the police do blitz this road sometimes.

They also testing those all singing .. dancing ones somewhere too. 
The ones which take photo of driver, video of driver - und have those pressure doo-dahs under surface of road because people emergency brake at cam site... 
Und still not meeting accident criteria either... but then they never did in first place really Submarinated one's targets are the same ones which the police used back in the 50s/60s .... at the stretches where people may open up engines a bit.. per the elderly locals...

From Bury Council's minutes of one of the 'Area Boards' (bringing democracy to the people):
Go to Page 4. So that's another fixed camera on its way...

I notice a certain lack of actual numbers or references to primary data on that page. Not that I'm suggesting anything untoward, of course...
