How far does this go? If speed limits were reasonable I wouldn't mind these
bloody cameras but a lot of the time they've been set deliberately low just so
as to catch as many drivers and hence raise as much revenue as possible.


I can think of perhaps 2 locations where this is true, but...

2 prime examples spring to mind - the 40mph limit on the 6 lane north circular


.... this is a gray area because of the relativly high volume of
unprotected pedestrian traffic in those areas.

at many points and the cameras on the A45 coming out of Birmingham.


Never seen the road, so can't comment.
