We live on a side road off a main road, and last week noticed a new flashing sign on a lamppost halfway down the main road. It flashes THANK YOU as you go past. At the top it says something like “watch your speed”. I’ve seen speed detector signs before but not one that flashes text at you and I said to DH I thought it was dangerous.
This morning we were taking the kids to nursery and there’s now a new sign underneath it. It’s a name and shame board - it’s a leaderboard of the week’s top ten speeders, with columns for name, car and MPH.
WTAF is this? Surely this can’t be an official thing? Who is compiling this information, and how are they getting names? It’s so bizarre.
The whole thing just seems more likely to cause an accident than prevent one.
It’s directly outside some houses so did one of the owners put it there?
Anyone seen anything like this?
