Thinking about this again i've got this de-restriction sign thing the wrong way round - it's more likely called a restriction sign.

School zones are a big revenue raiser too, but I don't have a problem with these areas as kids and their mothers do stupid things around schools. The NRMA is doing a speed survey in school zones at the moment, should be interesting to see what the results are like; if they're not good then motorist beware - reactive policing of speed limits. regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ken Abraham Sent: Sunday, 10 February 2002 11:50 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: FW: Speed cameras Info Terry, What is a de-restriction sign? Sounds nice :) Nick PS The RTA has a list of all fixed speed cameras in NSW on their website. I keep a copy with my Street directory so I can plan ahead. You would have to be a bit of a Muppet to get caught by them though, they are well sign posted, but people still do. -Could just be a Sydney driver thing, Christ we are such awful drivers. As for mobile speed traps, if everyone flashed their lights to warn oncoming drivers - there'd be no problems and the Police could go back to more useful work. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Terry Rudd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, February 09, 2002 8:18 PM Subject: RE: FW: Speed cameras Info > Indeed they are in road work zones, and what's more they only have to tell > you somewhere within 100ks that they police road work signs - you've all > probably seen the signs.
