As long as the speed limit signs are OK there is no requirement to make

There is (was?) a requirement to make them hi-viz if they wanted the
fine "income" to stay local, rather than get whisked off to central
government coffers ...




I don't think any of the fines stay local any more.
The police used to run hidden cameras when the "safety cameras" were in
full swing.


A friend's wife asked why they were using average speed cameras.Couldn't
they afford good ones?
Oh dear
