| It was my understanding that the speed limit was considered to be the safe limit on a given road where conditions are so favourable that the design features of the road govern. Therefore conditions are very much factored in. Surely you are not really advocating that there be no limits at all and tha... |

That is a very good suggestion - thank you. I will give this a go - without, as you say, cutting into the right hand lane! I have noticed that a lot of other road users do try and cut straight across, so this may well be the problem.
Thanks! |

| OK, so it seems that maybe it is more that people feel that more attention should be paid to other factors in causing deaths rather than just focussing solely on speed than that speed cameras are actively killing people. I can agree with that. What I don't really see is the case for speed cameras ca... |

| FYI and not terribly relevant, but in fact in this case, you use exit 3 to get right into the heart of Shefford, the nearest town - to go the same route from a previous roundabout takes you all over the shop and makes Shefford a nightmare to get into, so in fact most people use the exit 3 route. Thi... |

| Hi! I am starting this as a new thread because I am intrigued - I have been surfing through the discussions and this seems to be a claim that is being made quite often. Can someone please explain how they believe that speed cameras cause deaths? My feeling on this is very much that if you choose to ... |

| Thank you all so much for your opinions. It was mainly the fact that I had noticed that it was about a 50/50 split of other drivers - those who took the fact I was in the left hand lane and not indicating to mean that I was going straight on, and those that seemed to assume I was turning left - that... |

| I'm sorry to say that, while I agree with you that it is not desirable that the Government find more and more ways of "taxing" the ordinary citizen, there is a very easy way of ensuring that you don't have to pay a speeding fine and that is not to speed. A more constructive approach would be to peti... |

| OK, thanks - seems the best course of action is to start finding out who is responsible for this roundabout at the local Council and see if some pressure can be applied for better road markings. Presumably when it was designed there must have been a plan for how it would operate (or am I being naive... |

| Yes, I can appreciate your point - but it is about 50/50, so what should I do? |

| Sorry if this is in the wrong forum - I'm a newbie - but I really hope someone can clarify this for me! On my way to work every day, I have to use a roundabout with 3 exits and 2 approach lanes. The 2nd exit is at about 1 o'clock on approach, and that is the one I take. I always approach in the left... |
