  I mean I don’t know how you could think it wouldn’t be. Well signposted camera will help you pay more attention to your speed on the slope, it’s woods so presumably animals could run out at you.

  If you can’t see a bright fucking yellow speed camera, and haven’t been paying attention to the ten dozen signed, then that’s 100% on you.

    They are hidden here, not yellow bright.

      Fixed speed camera housings located within an area of street or highway lighting should be coloured yellow either by painting both the front and back of the housing or covering both the front and back of the housing with retroreflective sheeting. In an area not covered by street or highway lighting, the speed camera housing should be treated with yellow retroreflective sheeting.

      In the US every state I’ve seen has to put multiple warning signs out, starting about a mile out. It’s 100% obvious.

      It’s clearly bright yellow.

      Besides, you shouldn’t have to be threatened with a speed camera to just stay under the bloody speed limit. It’s literally a crime not to, and besides that it’s reckless and dangerous.

      Idiots that speed in cars deserve a special kind of hell where they’re tortured by all the children their kind have murdered.

  Another stereotype busted for me. I really thought it’s an ex-Soviet thing. “Скажи-ка, дядя, ведь недаром в кустах ты прячешься с радаром?”

  Probably you should be breaking on the hill? Regardless of if you’re foot’s on the gas or your just letting the slope do the work, you’re still speeding which is a hazard.

  Yeah, I’m sure it also racks up some revenue too. Why not get a few more bucks while keeping the careless on their toes?

    55 instead of 50 (because steep slope) is speeding?

      Yep, that’s in 8.5% increase on freeways and 2.8% increase on other roads. Better keep the brake down.

        I mean, i agree, but that one was really a trap. Steep slope out of the woods, hidden camera and then 100’s of meters straight unobstructed road.
