Sure sure, the speed cam after the slope in the woods is for safety, mhm.

[-] then_three_more@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

I mean I don't know how you could think it wouldn't be. Well signposted camera will help you pay more attention to your speed on the slope, it's woods so presumably animals could run out at you.

If you can't see a bright fucking yellow speed camera, and haven't been paying attention to the ten dozen signed, then that's 100% on you.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 month ago

They are hidden here, not yellow bright.

[-] obinice@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

It's clearly bright yellow.

Besides, you shouldn't have to be threatened with a speed camera to just stay under the bloody speed limit. It's literally a crime not to, and besides that it's reckless and dangerous.

Idiots that speed in cars deserve a special kind of hell where they're tortured by all the children their kind have murdered.

Sucks to be whenever you are I guess. I'm used to that way they work where I live.

Fixed speed camera housings located within an area of street or highway lighting should be coloured yellow either by painting both the front and back of the housing or covering both the front and back of the housing with retroreflective sheeting. In an area not covered by street or highway lighting, the speed camera housing should be treated with yellow retroreflective sheeting.

In the US every state I've seen has to put multiple warning signs out, starting about a mile out. It's 100% obvious.

Well. Don't keep us waiting. What country is surprising people with speed cameras?

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago

I think whole D-A-CH? At least switzerland and germany.

[-] FelixCress@lemmy.world -3 points 1 month ago

Tell me you never left the US without telling me.

And BTW sweetheart, Germany has no speed limit on the motorways at all and yet it is safe. Go figure.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

No that's more like, "never been to Central Europe". Going to Germany is not some kind of test for international travel.

Germany also has strict requirements for driver licenses and a robust mass transit system that removes many people from the roads.

[-] FelixCress@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

It is more like you never left your own village.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

Sure thing buddy. You're allowed to think whatever you want.

[-] FelixCress@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

This is not a matter of opinion. This comes across loud and clear. Go figure.

[-] rottingleaf@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Another stereotype busted for me. I really thought it's an ex-Soviet thing. "Скажи-ка, дядя, ведь недаром в кустах ты прячешься с радаром?"

[-] JayDee@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Probably you should be breaking on the hill? Regardless of if your foot's on the gas or you're just letting the slope do the work, you're still speeding which is a hazard.

Yeah, I'm sure it also racks up some revenue too. Why not get a few more bucks while keeping the careless on their toes?

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

60 instead of 50 (because steep slope) is speeding?

[-] JayDee@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)
[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

I mean, i agree, but that one was really a trap. Steep slope out of the woods, hidden camera and then 100's of meters straight unobstructed road.
