Speed camera on single lane national limit highway ... set to flash at 66 mph as an example. (could be less, I know )
Normal cars ........................... limit 60 mph
Goods not ex. 7.5Tonnes etc.... limit 50 mph
HGV over 7.5 Tonnes.............. limit 40 mph
There are variations within these examples.
Precise limits
How come restricted vehicles can .. exceed their speed limit by say 26 mph 65% for HVG before being flashed ?
Even with 50 mph limitation single carriageway the HGV is allowed near 38% over limit before being flashed.
Could this be the reason why many dual carriageways have 50 mph limit ? 50 mph is the limit for HGV on these roads. Hence cameras are then 'fair' to all.
