This is akin to my mantra at the chalkface Discipline is what everyone else's children need. Everyone wants to live safely but don't accept the constraints that that requires. In our village there is a band of volunteers who check on speeding motorists, a Speedwatch team. They receive a lot of abuse from those they catch but people still complain about speeding vehicles.
A road cannot determine the speed required to drive on it, near here there's a main road with a 40mph limit as it leaves the village, off that road there is a derestricted side road, little more than a farm track, certainly not driveable at 60mph.

Isnt the point that the camera's are there to ensure saftey in a dodgy spot?
If so it should be visible so it does it's job. It would be too late if someone gets hurt or injured which is still a problem if a camera is hidden no matter how many are caught.
The other problem with many of these is that they are placed where the speed limit suddenly drops. Now I agree that drivers should be 100% observant but that really is a naive idea that they can be especially if on a journey and trying to find the route. Far better would be to have those flashing reminders then a camera down the road.
Of course if it's all about raising cash rather than safety then my comments are completely void.
And this is not a childish excuse. I do try to obey limits except on Motorways and some dual carriageways.

Youngmaf !! You and I see eye to eye on many issues. But not this!!!
You can't pick and choose what speed limits you will obey. Imagine this:
"I never steal from shops. Except Tescos and Boots, that is!"
or
"I never hit women. Except my wife and girlfriend, that is!"
It just doesn't work like that !!!

Well authorities would tell you the purpose of speed cameras is to prevent accidents by making drivers slow down not fine-gathering devices. Hiding it doesn't exactly promote that reasoning.
They don't really have grounds to complain but there must be some drivers on here that agree with me, sometimes 30mph is so slow it's difficult to maintain, you have to really make an effort to keep below the limit.

...but on motorways, the new generation of cameras are grey, and very difficult to spot.
