If it says 'north of the Antill Street intersection' it is the southbound one. If it was the southbound one you really don't have any excuse: in addition to the 3 huge signs, the 80km/h speed signs and the traffic slowing down around you, there are also 30 fat white lumpy lines painted on the bitumen that are uncomfortable to ride over even at the posted limit. I'd bet it is the northbound one that got you. -- Regards Andrew

They're not the problem of the Government, the council, the police, and neither of the manufacturer of your vehicle. You've lost before you've even started.

But, looking on the bright side, you can travel thousands of kilometres at well over the speed limit, so long as you remember where the cameras are, and do it where the police cars aren't. :-) regards, CrazyCam |
