YAY!!! Another badge of honour you're not a good biker unless you can get them to flash...

Being honest though I find these type of signs completely pointless if they go off at inappropriate speeds. The signs that really annoy me are the ones that flash that you're in a 30 even if you're doing less than 30...

when are they going to stop wasting money like this and start spending it where it matters, tarmac on the roads.

they must think that all bikers are brainless morons who have a death wish and those that are brainless morons wont take the slightest bit of notice in them and just go about crashing anyway.

better off making signs saying 'please slow down and respect our town' with a flashing sign at the end of the town either saying 'PLONKER' or 'THANK YOU' depending on your speed.

at least they're positioned around accident black spots. And you don't get a fine for triggering them.

In the grand scheme of things, it seems relatively sensible.

Not were I live they not. What it needs is a sighn that says "your truck is to tall" in Polish so we don't get more damage to the rail bridge.

At the risk of making myself really unpopular... it'd be good to get the English correct first ;)

Depends what speed they are set to go off at and how well they are calbrated TBH. If they go off at 61 mph then they'll go off for every motorbike and will be totally ignored. If they only go off when you are actually going a bit too quick, and quicker than a sensible rider would normally, then they could be a good idea, for riders that set them off unadvertently when they wouldn't normally, it would slow then down.

My favourite ones are those that tell you how fast you're going. http://img.tapatalk.com/02db882d-f0b5-ba2b.jpg

they have one of the "this is your speed" type signs in Freuchie which is in a 40mph zone but it only goes up to 60mph.
