    where is that exactly? or how do I search for it? I need a proven well updated resource

    what do you mean it won't help? won't it help not to speed at that points? I don't understand

    Stick to the speed limits for the road

    If your not sure you revise your understanding of speed limits

    Or

    Buy a Sat nav that has a speed camera alert option.

    Anyone else noticed a high amount of Speed limits changes on roads recently? My sat nav is only 5 years old and most of the roads around my now have different speed limits, some of them have changed twice in that time.

    Yes. A stretch of road on which I received a speeding fine for doing 35 in a 30 zone is now a 40mph zone! But generally, here in Worcestershire especially, there seems to be a general inclination to reducing speed limits in all areas, presumably because the Highways Department has to justify it's existence and be seen to be doing something.

    I once read something a few years back that stated, statistically, you were less likely to be caught speeding by the police in Worcestershire than any other county.

    Same here. I was done in December 2012 for doing 40 in a 30. (The road is essentially a dual carriageway with physical separation, going through what once was the Ravenscraig steel works). In April 2013 the speed limit changed to 40! :mad:

    Satnavs can be updated via your computer. And it doesn't matter how many times limits are amended, as long as you see them and drive accordingly.
    I think this job really needs
    a much bigger hammer.
