Zoom!

From the observation last night in conversation with Lilian that people complain about speed cameras all the time, but you rarely hear anyone saying that the actual limit should be raised.

Note for for'n types - speeds are in MPH.

Would work in small towns where you put it on residential areas or the main high street, but in larger towns it isn't practical without bringing traffic to a near standstill. Oh and speedometers are also notoriously bad at being accurate at lower speeds (don't know which way they are bad, be it reading too fast or too slow - been a while since I read the stats and article on them).
