went shopping today with SWMBO,,,to southampton,
the route we took is mway / a road (dual carrigeway) and into the city,
now i havnt been that rout for some time, but it was always a national speedlimt, down to a 40 in places, due to handling the large vols of traffic using the route,
one particular bottleneck had a roundabout removed, to speed up the flow, and was then into a 60 to clear the traffic away, then down to a 40....the dual carrageway follows a bend and then dips down a hill.... ie you accelerate away from the lights bearing left , down the hill into a 40 limit.. no problem with that...
B****ger me theve dropped the speedlimit to a 30!!! and just as you round the bend and start down the hill,,, a forward facing truvelo!!!.... now you tell me thats not a money making scheme,
And before the speed bible bashers start (we know who that will be edit edit) SWMBO who is a staunch believer in speed cams (arggghh) piped up "what a stupid place to put a camera, theres no houses or pavements around!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so for the rest of the journey, all you end up doing is constantly
watching for cams and your speedo,,,
these things are a ******* menace, the roads today are bad enough as it is without having to watch out for these things, you cant overtake if a bus stops, incase you go over the limit and get zapped.... so the traffic gets more congested....
well done hmg
