Would be nice to think this won't turn into yet another safety nazi v revenue raiser type argument that these threads inevitably turn into.
Will give it the benefit of the doubt, & see what happens.

I suspect it is not a speed camera.

The fixed cameras require markings on the road as there is no legislation to cover them otherwise.

sorry if ive started something : but just thought every one should know. i see alot of you guys drive late model cars with accurate speedos but some of us with early models should be aware how inaccurate our speedos can be. it just looks like an unfare way of getting ppl to slow down by hidding the things :.
