News: The Three Most Pointless UK Speed Cameras

pocketgpsworld.comThe Daily Mail has published an article today reporting on the most pointless UK speed cameras as compiled by PocketGPSWorld.com.

First on the list is Euston Rd, Central London suggested by site member "wonka" which is easily one of the most congested roads in Britain, yet still has a speed camera in place.

In second place, suggested by cliveports, is the camera in Portsmouth situated on the dual carriageway leading onto the M275. This camera is positioned at the start of a motorway, so everyone on the dual carriageway (leading into the M275) starts hitting the brakes when they see it causing a domino effect of traffic problems.

In third place comes a mobile camera in Hull suggested by user "SHC". This camera is positioned at the bottom of a long sweeping downhill dual carriage-way flyover, with a slip road at the bottom coming in from your left. The van is parked just around the bend 200 yards before the road becomes 70mph from 40mph. Hence, three lanes of traffic feed into two with the Camera just visible as you start to hit the downhill section. Traffic on the two lane section is looking to see whether there is a Camera there or not and those on the slip road are simply trying to filter in, creating a safety hazard.
