The TNUK experts say its money making yet these things have been designed by people who are trained in it, and have spent hundreds maybe thousands of hours researching and collecting data on the traffic flow in an area before it’s turned to smart motorway. Yet there’s experts that are more qualified on here that just say its money making.Well news flash. See a speed limit, and whether you agree with it or not. Slow to that limit. And don’t get a ticket. So the “money makers” don’t make any money from you then. Revolutionary concept isn’t it?
So someone with bits of paper on the wall and letters after their name knows more than a guy who drives a stretch of road every day for years/decades? These things are pure money makers, nothing more. I see it night after night after night, speed limits reduced for no reason for one gantry only. And it’s always a camera gantry.
That said, I have no sympathy for those who think the laws dont apply to them. I just wish the authorities would stop lying to us and tell us what we already know, it’s a stupid tax.
How do you know it was for no reason 2 minutes ago and it’s just not been updated yet? Or control are awaiting confirmation that it’s safe to lift the limit? This is what I mean, it’s all well and good saying stuff like that without seeing the bigger picture and just automatically thinking it’s authority against us.
I think it’s a bit more than a few bits of paper on the wall. The driver who has driven it for decades I imagine doesn’t know or care about emission sensors and wider environmental impact and what levels of CO2 and other emissions are emitted at different speeds, and how a slow flow of traffic compared to stop start traffic has an impact on that. All these things have been researched and tested by experts with scientific support. And no I’m sorry someone who’s been driving a truck 30 years doesn’t qualify as an expert.
