A15 cameras north Lincoln - are they live?

[bryan35]

Think that 1 is at Blyborough and the other Snitterby.
Colleague of mine pinged one last night, and he's a bit concerned.
he was doing 75MPH in a 60. (long straight road, no turn offs etc etc etc)
Anyone any idea?

Yep..they're live...

I used to live in Lincs, up until a few years ago..and many neighbours got done between Sleaford and A57..

Lincs has a huge death rate on the roads and their prosecution policies are very stringent..

Interesting to chart up road fatalities on Lincs roads for 2 or 3 years before they went camera and van crazy and then for each year since. Giving the number of fixed cams - and van ops - alongside each year's fatality stats would be good. Not interested in overnight observations, dislocated fingernails or whatever, KSI is too easy to stitch up.

As the cameras and van enforcement has increased in Lincs, have the fatalities plummeted or risen? You don't need ask the audience, phone a friend, just go for it, 50:50.

Why not stop and re-think the failing policy? Lincs plod were even in EVO magazine way back, all proud of their 3 E's approach. Thinking hard now...why could this be...kerching. If you're an insider on this Street, can you explain why and still stay your new pc PC self?

Hi Street OK, thanks. Hopefully the three E's still get a look in somewhere.

[bryan35]

Could have been worse, he could have been an ambulance driver (oooooh, bit of poilitics there!!!!, my names Ben Elton GOODNIGHT)

Gee thanks. I'm off to Norwich on Thursday, so I'd better see if ca092003 would like to ride shotgun with me.

Best wishes all,
Dave.
