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.

Well if you move it to less accident prone areas or stretchs of roads then jobs a good 'un no?

Roads in built up residential areas with young families, schools etc are likely to have a higher probability of accidents occuring (not involving just veichles that is) then back roads through industrial estates...

Or as someone else has pointed out on major urban trunk roads.

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).
