Have you seen the one outside Rhydypenau primary school? Typical council cock-up. They put a speed camera up one week and then plant new trees in front of it the next - bunch of morons
Yeah, I saw that one last week....classic!
In Rhiwbina, they put up two new cameras but then took one away after around a month?! Go figure?

When did these go up? Where on North road exactly?
Going into cardiff: one by the side of Nazareth House- just past the old Comet site.
Coming out of Cardiff: one by the side of the arts college then another one opposite the funeral home 100yds away from the first one I mentioned.
They went up yesterday.
N.B. The outward bound one opp. the funeral home DOESN'T have lines on the road so watch out!

rogue group tansplants thousands of tree to cover local speed cameras
No, no, no! You need something like:
"eco-friendly motorists plant trees to hide visual scarring of speed cameras and reduce impact of airline pollution"
There... that's better! Who's going to ring the Echo?

anyone know for a good source of fir trees
the really fast growing ones.
that would work, then again just nick all the ones from the forestry land, their not using them.

You need Lelande (sp) fir's ... 3 feet in a year
The cameras on North Road are, in fairness, justifiable. The one outside the Welsh College of Music & Drama was where that police officer was killed (although not to do with speeding?)and the ones by Nazareth House are, I hate to say, perfectly reasonable with an orphanage, an ambulance station, a major student crossing area and a Death Wish zebra crossing all along that short stretch.
The one in Rhiwbina is a mystery though..
I believe Eucalyptus trees grow even faster than Leylandii conifers although they are a little more transparent. Still, a few Koalas should block the view.

As of last night it has been moved 100 yards down the road (Pentwyn diretion, on the corner of Betwys-y-Coed Rd) so be careful. I can't believe they moved the camera - I would have bet a grand that they'd cut the tree down first

Justifiable!!!!
1.The college incident was when a copper ran in front of a car chasing a pikey thief.. I saw it... the driver didn't stand a chance... nothing to do with speed!
2.The orphange doesn't even have an exit on that road so unless they can scale a 20 foot wall they're safe.
3. If you hit an ambulance at least you'll get treated in a reasonable time.
4. Students are supposed to be clever enough to cross the road... if they aren't... well let's just call it natural selection!
You are starting to believe the lies spouted by the government and scamera partnership. Wake up! Remember WE don't drive down the pavments mowing people down... THEY jump in front of us! IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!!!!
SORRY HAVING A BAD DAY!
I didn't say it was right. I said it was technically justifiable. Actually, I've been nailed along that stretch by the van and so has my fiancee. Still, great camaera shot.
Besides, the other day, I was going down that road and there were students sitting in the road protesting they didn't get enough beer money, ten people in black and white striped clothing waiting to use the zebra crossing, the orphanage was having it's annual pole vaulting contest over the wall into the car park opposite whilst the nuns were hang-gliding from the windows and the ambulances were all leaving at the same time to attend an emergency student overdose of information in the library. An annual hedgehog migration from Coopers Field to Cathays was also in progress. Then there was a TVR broken down on the main TVR Migration route.
Not true of course but .... possible....
