I think it will be in regular use alongside other methods of carrying out speed checks and issuing tickets to speeders in areas where they shouldn't be.

So it IS acceptable to speed in some places then?

Interesting....

"Residents will be able to request to have the use of the SID to carry out traffic surveillance in the roads where they live in a bid to tackle speeding."

It's the residents themselves doing the speeding. You don't need to spend money to find that out...

looks nicely portable - wonder how long that will last then

The SID will not be a tool that is there to threaten, but to remind drivers not to speed in built up areas where there may be children around.

If only more people thought like that! It's a controversial view I know, but sometimes the number on the lollipop is there for a reason that isn't "annoy the motorist".

One of the big disagreements I have with pointlessly low limits being introduced on otherwise safe roads is that it lessens the impact of having that same limit on a stretch where it is actually dangerous to be going fast.

SID -wasn't he that bloke we were not to talk to during the Gas thimny - oh well suppose he had to find another job
