Scamera partnership have given me a new game to play!

god I so want to find one of those

just the 30mph ones that flash up have to be lit up when I go through as I feel unworthy of my car

blueboy2001 · 18 May 2006 at 23:06

There's plenty of those around here. When they originally installed them they would display high speeds, but now the ones in 30mph zones don't light up above 45mph.

TripleT · 18 May 2006 at 23:09

There's loads on the East Lancs, love 'em!

LOL, know that feeling mate. There's two on the way to work one is set at 30mph in a 40 zone and the other one is a 25ish in a 30. What makes me LOL most is those that slow down to 30 JUST for the signs and then proceed to increase back to the 40-45 they where doing 10 foot from the sign....WHY??!?

Probably think there will be a camera near it.

First time I saw one, I wasn't sure if they could actually catch you or just warn you. Although I bet they keep a record of the number of people who are over the limit, too many do it and *bang* 1 more scamera on the roads.

There's one near my house (30mph zone). I try to set it off when I'm cycling

Siliconslave · 19 May 2006 at 00:25

the really well placed one near me only shows the speed limit to you (40 supposidly) otherwise i'm pretty sure it could get into double didgets

(having said that there are a couple i wouldn't even try getting to light up due to their residential location)

Sirrel Squirrel · 19 May 2006 at 00:32

I hope they put one up near me, we've got those ones that light up if you go over 30mph past them, I thought it was a big smiley face when I first saw it go off.

<------ just like that

JediFragger · 19 May 2006 at 00:35

Damn this sign makes me want an uber-bike

Dugganator · 19 May 2006 at 01:39

but i knew better a couple weeks later :rolleyes:

Someone needs to photochop a Delorian in there

merlin · 19 May 2006 at 08:41

LOL

Brilliant.

All the ones round mine just flash 30 or 40mph. Pretty boring.

TomO · 19 May 2006 at 09:08

here we go:

Dj_Jestar · 19 May 2006 at 09:12

They used to have one of those round this way, they removed it after they noticed a lot of people were trying to get the highest speed.

Lowe · 19 May 2006 at 09:22

Same here - boy racer target. They modified them so they just flash 30 at you instead

ROFL!

On the subject of those 'slow down' ones, I think I triggered every single one of them off when I was going to a small village in West Sussex for a LAN a while back. It was pretty dark and I was running pretty late so was taking advantage of the empty country road. Glad there were no real cameras though!
