Maybe the UK government in its new consultations on road safety should add the question of hiding speed cameras to their list of concerns. I'm a driver, but also a pedestrian and cyclist and get fed up with seeing cars zooming down local roads at way more than 20 or 30mph.

Camera-warning signs and smartphone apps allow drivers to slow briefly when approaching speed cameras and then resume excessive speeds, weakening the purpose of posted limits. A proposal recommends adding a question about concealing speed cameras to government road-safety consultations to deter strategic slowing and subsequent speeding. A person identifies as a driver, pedestrian and cyclist and reports frequent instances of cars exceeding 20 or 30 mph on local roads. Flashing speed-display lights inform drivers of their current speed but impose no immediate penalties at those points, prompting calls for stronger enforcement measures.
