I passed a Speed, sorry I meant Road Safety, Camera van on the way home last night.
It was policing an arrow straight 100 km/h limit motorway section on a fine sunny evening. I presume it was set to nab those doing 5–10 km/h over the limit on a road that probably safely handle 150 km/h or more.
Five kilometres down the road there is a long term interchange reconstruction underway. Lanes have been narrowed, flanked by concrete barriers, and a sensible reduced 70 km/h limit imposed. At that speed I watched cars and trucks fly past at 20–30 km/h over the limit with no sign of a ‘safety’ camera. Safety or revenue?
