I think this concerns the ludicrous lowering of the 40mph speed limit to 30mph on a dead straight road with very few entrances or houses between Hampton Court and Kingston. As soon as the camera van hides itself along this stretch most drivers will be sitting ducks. But if due warnings are laid out, as they are these days in Surrey, then it's difficult to see what possible justification there can be for it. Maybe someone has complained that traffic at 40mph upsets their horses. Maybe there was an 'incident' as the result of the newly laid down bicycle lane.

I think it is the threshold point where people will become frustrated at ludicrous low limit inappropriate for the road and then they will start to flout it - so that it will generate revenue via speed camera/traps etc.

Second HJ's post about H'Court to Kingston. There is an example of illogical road management likely to lead to frustration if ever there was one. Safety cameras continue to be located where they shouldn't be and omitted from where they'd do some good.
