    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.

        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.

        Sucks to be whenever you are I guess. I’m used to that way they work where I live.

        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.

            Well. Don’t keep us waiting. What country is surprising people with speed cameras?

              Tell me you never left the US without telling me.

              And BTW sweetheart, Germany has no speed limit on the motorways at all and yet it is safe. Go figure.

                No that’s more like, “never been to Central Europe”. Going to Germany is not some kind of test for international travel.

                Germany also has strict requirements for driver licenses and a robust mass transit system that removes many people from the roads.
