Someone in the village must have got a fat fine or even a ban for #speeding - the local speedwatch sign has been destroyed - even though the electronic "SLOW DOWN" sign cannot result in a charge even if it contains a camera (some do!) -All that happens is after repeated hits the registration mark is put on a list, driver gets a warning and the list sent to #Suffolk Constabulary (so they would have to be repeat offenders to actually get a ticket) #RoadSafety

Ach, never mind warnings, just fines and points on the licence. I can forgive people for speeding on the open road. I've got no time for speeders in towns and villages. Too many lives are at risk.
@fitheach where the sign is is just before a 4 way junction and a main route to the highway, its been put there for a good reason (as folk think they can get away with sending it through the village and it has ended badly before, in fact there have been worse incidents than in the large town)
@vfrmedia
I can appreciate the problem. One of the local villages has a long straight going through it. It isn't uncommon for cars and lorries to thunder through at 60+mph, when the speed limit is 30mph. Worrying when walking the dog along the pavement, never mind kids playing on side streets. There is a speed sign, but, it only gives a warning, nothing else.
