I may have been clocked by a Truevelo in Newcastle on Tyne last weekend.
Normally I'm pretty cautious but an unfamiliar road and following the car in front meant I wasn't concentrating 120% and doing just under 50 - the previous limit.
When I went back along the same piece of road the following day there was only 1 x 40 mph repeater between the main 40 signs ( at a complex narrowing of the road, traffic lights etc. etc.) and the camera about half a mile up the road and that was about 50mtrs before the camera.
Does anyone know what the legal requirement is for repeaters in a 40 limit/proximity to a speed camera?
Academic at present but I'd be interested to know chapter and verse.
Thanks, Pewe10

Google pepipoo, all about grtting out of speeding tickets etc, sure they would know on there!

The guidelines for road signage state should be at least every 400 yards.

They are only guidelines and not the law.

Everything you ever wanted to know, including references to the relevant legislation here:

Thanks for the info guys.
Hopefully 40 mph plus 10% plus speedo error will mean they won't ticket.
If they do the guy driving the Bentley Continental convertible in front of me will be ticketed as well!
Cheers, Pewe10

The 40 repeater was 50yds before the camera but you still went through over the limit? I may have mis-read that.
