A quiet residential street is turned into the most puzzling street in Britain, because the overwhelming amount of traffic signs cause confusion among motorists. Ten of thousands of drivers received fines, filling up the treasury with over 5 million pounds in just five years. The CCTC-camera is the most profitable one in the country. It is already called highway robbery. And the most astounding part is that it is just a residential street. It almost feels as if the cameras are only there to raise revenue for the Town Hall, something that is of course denied by a council spokesman.
Personal comment:
The picture in this article explains everything. How is someone to understand all those signs at an instant? Even when you drive really slowly you cannot process what you need to do; you need to stand still to notice every single sign and absorb the information. It is not fair to position a camera in this jungle of traffic signs. Besides it is only a residential road, not a dangerous motorway or something. The public servant, responsible for traffic, surely has no driver’s licence, because no motorist would have come up with something like this.
