A question.

If you join a main road, and it has a fixed camera on it, shouldn't the exit from the side road have a camera warning sign, just as it would have a speed limit lolipop if the side road was a different speed?

If it didn't have such a warning, and the driver received a NIP because he was unaware of the camera, should he protest, or just pay up?
A while back I encountered a junction where the lollipops were staggered - ie not on opposite sides of the road, but several yards apart. The limit sign is easily missed if a vehicle is passing the other way, as your attention is given to safely passing it in a narrow stretch.

Any thoughts? :roll:


was the side road a primary or secondary road,

Secondary.

I think most of us know when we are in a 30 zone; its the ridiculous 40's and 50's scattered around the countryside that catch us out, (not to mention insult our judgement of what is a sensible speed), but how many of these rural roads are littered with lamp posts that youre idea could use.

I certainly dont want more roadside furniture to avoid if I ever depart my bike, especially not at the speeds i do :)

does yellow street furniture work in southampton? too early to tell!

However with zero policing on bikes on pavements, they will get run over in the shopping arcade first!
