| 2 sides to it..... for the enforcement to be legal, the only thing that has to be correct is obviously the calibration & type approval of the camera and the speed limit itself.... for a motorway with a standard 70 limit it's going to be.I'm afraid.
As regards signage / visibility issues, this only really comes into play if the area the camera is located in has signed up to the hypothecation scheme - this is where revenue from fines buys more cameras.
The problem is that the hypothecation rules only relate to funding and breaching them would not make the penalty for being caught on it automatically void.
I know what you'll say...that's crap / immoral / not playing with a straight bat etc. but hey ho, this is the set of rules that our wonderful Governments over the last 15 years or so have put in place.
Sorry if this is not what you want to hear, but that is the current position.
Hope it didn't get you.... with a bit of luck it was out of film!
