These signs are good if they flash to show when you are exceeding the speed limit BUT it says in the paper that they are set to flash when you are travelling AT THE SPEED LIMIT….what is the point of that? It just makes innocent motorists feel guilty.
I have had 40MPH signs flash at me when I have been doing 25 MPH and 35MPH, both in different areas on the same day.
Is it just a ploy to make us go even slower than the already reduced limits?
If they flash when you aren’t exceeding the speed limit then people will simply start ignoring them and they will prove to be useless.
