Speed camera roadsigns

[Chris944_S2]

Over the last couple of days on my route to work, there seems to have been a lot of activity with mobile scamera's in a 30 zone.

On Wednesday they had their usual van tucked in a gap between 2 large trees, then yesterdfay they had at least 6 officers checking speed. Two of them had a radar gun type thing, and 4 of them were needed to deal with a middle aged woman that they pulled over.

Anyway, this was the first time I'd ever seen them policing that stretch of road in the two years I've been commuting it, and there is no sign for scamera enforcement activity on that road. If they are going to use a mobile scamera van are they meant to have one, or are the signs only for information purposes?

They don't need to use a sign at all.

Suspect they are worried that their pensions need topping up, hence the recent activity.

I'll hazard a guess and say it's a lovely straight stretch of road with no school in sight.....

Dont forget that most of the signs are gainfully employed warning motorists about stretches of road where there are no fixed cameras or mobile sites.

Surely there should be a law against blatantly wrong road signs being erected!

didn't you know its ok to run over kids as long as your only doing 30 mph

Yes of course it is.... after all... the anti speed lobby claim that at 30 mph a whopping 90% of them will survive being hit! Drive with your eyes shut for all they care, just stick to 30 and all will be well no matter what you drive into!!!
