How Are The Public Expected To Know The Speed Limit When...

Some guy from the local council or Dept of Roads has set a speed advisory camera up in Subiaco in a 50 km/h zone and vehicles travelling at 51 km/h are greeted with the message "well done"? Only in the last few months have they changed this particular stretch of road from 60 to 50 but the person who set them up doesn't even know what the speed limit is.

Shouldn't have the damn thing if the information that it displays is misleading. Maybe I should complain to the council. If I utilise the term "well done" it will be in a sarcastic way.

what's an advisory speed camera? if I need to know at what speed I am going, I just look at the dashboard. It just another distraction.

It's a small yellow trailer with a screen mounted on it. Your speed is registered and then displayed. I think the speed reading is delayed by close to a second and they always park it in a place where you are still accelerating. Therefore, it must be the council that is involved.

This one was parked on Salvado Rd.
