The 50mph limit and SPECS cameras have obviously been a resounding success:

A Peak District road has once again been named Britain's most dangerous, despite efforts to combat drivers' "racetrack mentality" on the route.
The A537 between Macclesfield, Cheshire, and Buxton, Derbyshire, known locally as The Cat and Fiddle, features severe bends and steep drops.
The Road Safety Foundation charity report compared accident rates with the amount of traffic using the road.
It also found many of the crashes involved motorcyclists.
The reports began in 2002 and since then the A537 has been top in eight out of 12 reports.
There were 44 serious or fatal crashes on the seven-mile (12km) stretch of road between 2007 and 2011. Between 2002 and 2006, there were 35.
I am not usually a supporter of the argument that "there are no bad roads, only bad drivers" but I think this is a case where the psychology of a subset of road users is the main cause of the high accident rate, and more intensive and high-profile police enforcement is probably the only answer.
