Hi Guys,
So was driving through Islington in the early hours of this morning (2:30am)
Obviously there's no NIP yet so not a lot to fill out.
It was a SpeedCurb type of speed camera on Junction Road A400 just before Archway (so a pretty main road).
Obviously I went straight over the camera at just under 30mph (speedo indicated) thinking all was fine and dandy and then it flashed and flashed again.
I haven't been in Islington in over a year and can't say I read any local newspapers that showed me the entire borough was turning into a 20mph zone.
To be honest I can't even say there was a lot of signage, I went back and looked again and there are road markings and one tiny 20mph sign right at the end of the camera markings.
Having said all of that, what do you think the likely outcome of this one will be considering 28mph (I'm guessing) is wildly over the 10%+2 ?
Google Maps Streeview of Camera
Is the location link, all the side roads show 20 on the entrance but its not really clear the main road is a 20mph.
I have looked at street view since and can see a few 20 signs that are written on the actual road itself, the only two signs signs I can see are the one at the end of the speed camera and one right the way back near where the road splits off from Kentish town, both are ridiculously small.
To be totally honest none of them at all were noticeable, double checking them now I can see them because I am going out of my way to look for them.
I would understand if this was a small backroad past a school and in a heavily residential area, but it's not, its a main road coming from Archway to Kings Cross, through London and to the best of my knowledge it always has been a 30mph zone, now I know thats not a defence in any shape or form, but still.
Any advice on this one before it comes back would be cool.
Thanks
