After southwick tunnel on approach to shoreham flyover

Temporary or permanent?

And which bit, you can get a bit of momentum down the hill towards the back of Tescos

 

[BensGrandad]

There is quite often a mobile unit there.

PS I think Crystal Palace play attractive attacking football and are a credit to their profession and I hpoe Glen Murray scores 50 goals next season

after that woman got done for flashing her headlights (fnar fnar), I'd like to think that people like you that 'obstruct the police' by tipping people off in such a fashion will be punished to the full extent of the law

Given the position of mobile cameras are published in the press ahead of time I fail to see how he's committing an offense. The flashing head lights case was a joke !!!!

 

[Max Paper]

That's right, in the normal place just before tescos. Anybody who wants to moan about me giving a friendly warning to those who do that stretch of road, get a life

Also that the fact of warning peopleby flashing or whatever, makes them slow down, so they are in effect assisting the police rather than hindering them but this comes back to the role of the police, is it to prevent crime or catch offenders. Obviously as regards motoring offenses it is to catch and punish the offenders.

Papa Lazarou gave me this warning when we were heading back towards Worthing after the Huddersfield game.

Is that an accident blackspot at all? If not, it really strikes me as a very low way for Sussex Police to go about things as it is one of those areas where, due to the hill, it really is very easy for people to find themselves going faster than they intended or thought. I'm not condoning speeding, but surely there are better places where limited speed enforcement resources can be deployed in order to make a real difference to safety.

Not sure if joking, but surely getting people to slow down is the aim of the game!?

 

[Don't get me started]

I have only ever seen them there late afternoon when the sun is low and it makes it harder to see , I am a cautious biker so always give the bloke a friendly wave from the wrist as I go past,

I am sure they are only there because its an accident blackspot but you cant help feeling they stick them in places they are likely to get more bang for their buck. Just me being paranoid I expect.

I'd assume that the justification is that traffic coming up from the Holmbush roundabout merges with the traffic just after that spot which could cause accidents. The one a bit further along at Lancing is more of a joke as the only possible justification is the proximity to the school but there has been a bridge and six foot high fencing in place for years so you don't get many kids crossing the main road now.

The fact that both places are only a couple of miles from the SSRP base so is a nice easy start / end to the day for the staff is purely coincidence.

No. The Police were forced into covering cameras in bright colours and not to hide them behind trees etc, so the idea is to get people to slow down, rather than be caught out.

If that is the case how can a person achieving this by warning people of speed traps and thus getting them to slow down not be helping the police rather than hindering them

Do we agree or disagree?
The person flashing their lights, high visibility speed cameras, and the publicity here of the new camera .. all achieve slower speeds around cameras and achieve the Police stated aim of prevention.

But I'm not 100% certain if certain police officers or police forces would rather the cameras be sneaky to catch people out, dispelling their stated deterrent viewpoint.
