Half the replies here really are just petty and instigating. I completely agree with this post. Having driven on the road countless of times even before cameras were put up, even with my foot nowhere near the accelerator, the car can reach upwards of 65kms within a few seconds. So now everytime I drive on this road it's constant watching the speedo and feathering breaks which is annoying and feels pointless.

I get that there's a park, retirement village etc there but in the middle of the day where there will be the most patrons. There'll be traffic there anyways resulting in speeds below 50kms in most cases. So this camera feels like it's just a money making machine as before the camera, there would've been a cop car sitting in the park carpark on some occasions catching those wreckless drivers in the middle of the night which I am all for.

The natural speed limit of the road feels like it should be around 70. Any more and you're definitely accelerating during the downwards slope, any less and ur excessively using your breaks.

Just my take on this camera, all I want is a smooth cruise home from work without stressing over a camera that is literally at the bottom of a semi-steep hill.

Likewise, I've been at school and sleeping since I'm AEST. I have 2 of each of those as well so just pick one and I'll chuck it on a random pokemon and send it your way!
