I live on a seafront front in a large seaside town. I the last year 2 motor bikers have been killed after coming off the bike doing at least 60 mph in what is a 30 mph area.
I have walked along the seafront this morning and seen 2 motor bikers riding recklessly doing a minimum of 60 mph. At this time of the year the area is full of tourists, children, elderly people.
Given the 2 fatalities is anyone likely to be looking at cameras or other enforcement measures and if so who.....
I am not a general fan of speed cameras, however this seems to be a classic case of need!

Police enforce the speed limit with speed cameras /speed guns.
The speed limit for a road is set by the local traffic authority, probably the local council.1 -
I had a similar concern on my road and sent a query to the local police Road Safe scheme. They replied and said they would look in to the situation. That was over a year back and nothing has happened.

You didn't say where specifically you are but likely the local police have something similar.

Roadside speed cameras are funded installed and maintained by the highway authority, not the police.sheramber said:Police enforce the speed limit with speed cameras /speed guns.
