Speed camera changes took place and lack/wrong signs in place, including location

Anfon at Bristol City Council llai na munud yn hwyrach. Cyfeirnod FixMyStreet: 6928774.

Negligent, likely deliberate failure to complay with the Department of Transport guidelines regarding the changes from 30 mph to 20 mph related with the speed camera in place ( how it happened and the incorrect and inapropriate signage in place). https://www.gov.uk/ government/ publications/ setting-local-speed-limits/ setting-local-speed-limits

Already placed a complaint with no response to the Council with this content; "Viewing this video (https://www.facebook.com/ share/ v/ nCxENRRPWmpqXHG1/ ), from going for about 750 meters from the roundabout, you can see two small 20mph signs (repeaters) with small camera symbols stating the limit for the speed camera, the first one 750 meters before the camera! The first question we must ask ourselves is how many regular users of this road will realise that a discreet sign was placed there when it is well known that the long extension of the road has been 20mph for so many years? For sure, hardly anyone, that will be the answer right?! The second one, right by side the speed camera, tragically, just literally across the road, not before, as per usual warning and most unfortunately, not on the left-hand side of the road as it was for many years at the scene. The standard size signal for 30mph applied there for many years was removed along with the camera symbol from a proper location, before the camera and on the left-hand side of the road, but services failed to replace those with a new one stating the changes, now set for 20mph. Again, we must ask ourselves, was this a coincidence? I don't think so, clearly, everything points in the same direction Considering the many thousands of usual drivers familiarised with signage in the area, hardly anyone was going to even notice the sign was not there anymore! This is shocking, but clearly, in my opinion, everything was done as discreetly as possible, in a sneaky way, leading thousands of usual drivers into a trap and falling into a speed penalty charge, with many being caught in it, many in consecutive days and weeks. Some others, even several times in a day, because the Council services failed to clearly and efficiently state the chances, failing to be honest and fair in a way I personally find abusive, deliberate and criminal, turning even professional drivers' lives into a nightmare. Losing their driver's licences and, subsequently, their jobs! Me, as thousands of drivers have NOT been caught speeding, based on irrefutable facts, we've been caught in a trap!!"

  • I've been issued with a Notice and would like the council to provide evidence that the guidelines for reducing the speed limit has been considered. I am a local and have known this road for years to be 30 MPH. See points below where I do not believe these guidelines were followed

    Https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/setting-local-speed-limits/setting-local-speed-limits#urbanspeed

    "83. 20mph zones require traffic calming measures such as speed humps or chicanes or at least one calming feature and repeater speed limit signing and/or roundel road markings at regular intervals, so that no point within a zone is more than 50m from such a feature, sign or marking. In addition, the beginning and end of a zone is indicated by a terminal sign. Zones usually cover several roads."

    "20mph limits without traffic calming 100. Research into signed-only 20mph limits shows that they generally lead to only small reductions in traffic speeds – less than 1mph on average. Signed-only 20mph limits are, therefore, most appropriate for areas where vehicle speeds are already low. This may, for example, be on roads that are very narrow, through engineering or on-road car parking. If the mean speed is already at or below 24mph on a road, introducing a 20mph limit through signing alone is likely to lead to general compliance with the new speed limit."
