They're going up all over the place. A road I use has had 13 put up on a 2 or 3 mile stretch. You can see 4 at once at one point!! It's ridiculous, the road is crammed during rush hour and is deserted at night!

So they can catch people?

Umm, shouldn't you have some idea of the speed limit yourself?
I've found you can generally run any 40mph camera in our area at up to 10mph over and not get flashed.

what i meant was when following a car, sometimes they will break to a silly low speed on a 40mph road to be safe from the camera (due to not knowing the limit)

whats the point in that!!

i wouldnt risk much over the cameras set limit, just incase

Surely if the powers that be really think that a road is so dangerous, then they should put up speed averaging cameras?

£300K a set, so it takes a long time to return a profit.

All the best
