Depends on the local camera partnership's operating guidelines (which are usually developed to take into account the speed reading technology) - there's no legal wording that says "the camera HAS to be x distance from the speed change.Originally posted by RichardCranium View Post
I've seen the buggers parked up immediately (within 10 feet) of a 30 mph sign.
(One classic is a road from Swansea to Neath, up a long hill dual carriageway, then round a sharp right hand bend and down to two lanes with 30 mph sign and a lay-by where the camera van used to live. If you didn't know the road, it was a guaranteed nick.)
(Another is a steep downhill in Leeds between Bramley and the cricket ground. From 40 on the flat to 30 on a steep downhill and the buggers hide in the back of an unmarked estate car. You have to brake sharply on a bend.)
How close is too close?
To put it simply, if you're over the limit as you pass the line, you're speeding.
They did actually put it a good way when I did my speed course - you always see people speed up before they reach a sign that shows an increase in limit.
However, when the limit drops "the signs weren't clear... the van was just inside the limit change... they didn't give enough time to slow down" etc.
Funny how a reduction in limit sign is hard to spot/react to whereas an increase in limit can be seen and reacted on from 20 metres away

I'm so going burn in hell for this, but why not just buy a camera detector, I did that years ago, no points since and seems to make you more aware the 'ups n downs' in speed limits on various bits of road.Comment
