Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

i have to wonder whether i've made mine clear enough / people are understanding what I've written. I'm saying to stop fining motorists just for the sake of it and make sure speed cameras and parking fines are a deterrent and not a cash cow for councils. but as of now i've got 13 votes against and zero in favour!!! confused...

Councils don't get the fines from speed cameras. It goes to central government.

Though I don't disagree that if lots of speeding is present, other action is needed, like road diets, traffic filtering etc. Engineer lower speeds into them.

The mathematician in me wondered what would happen if the extra extra signage didn't work :-) I think I'd vote for speed limiters in cars.

well councils/central government - that wasn't the important bit. it was the 'do something practical to lower speeds rather than milk motorists' bit that was meant to be the focus.

oh well...

that's central to my point, really. if the important thing is slowing down speeding drivers and all that happens is that thousands of people are fined, as a deterrent to speeding it's clearly not working.

You can have as many bids as you like if you want to try out some new policies :-)

Please be heartened by the fact that 'Create Utopia' is also being voted down :-)
