Default Yellow cameras to go

Watch out, watch out, there's a camera about - oh but you can no longer see it:

Maybe time to have one of those GPS devices that detect the cameras:

I can see front number plates for bikes, the need for which was abolished on safety grounds, making a come-back, "on safety grounds".

Expect an increase in accidents at camera sites as more people don't see the cameras till the last minute, then throw on the brakes when they spot the dragons teeth. Resulting in them being rear-ended, or worse, losing control and skidding into the oncoming lane or pavement. Nice.

ridiculous.. they don't have a clue.. not interested in safety whatsoever, just money making

accidents will skyrocket at camera sites now, and it seems they can put cameras wherever they like even if there's not neccesarily a problem with speeding....

Its only a matter of time until you have to have a gps tracking device on the car/bike that regulates your max speed.

how very true. big brother is watching you.

passed one of the road speed indicator signs today doing 33 in a 30 area. sign automaticaly flashes speed for you and everyone else to see.

this has a much more positive effect on making you reduce your speed. pity the relevant parties in government dont see how much safer this is.
there again it doesn't bring any money in (oops-did i say that!).
