You will if someone puts up a number on a pole followed by a yellow box.
Don't tell me you agree that all speed limits are set correctly and
for the right reasons, oh dear.

How am I able to opt of having to drive at 30mph past a speed camera
on a road good for 60mph?

Two oprtions:-
1) Comply with the speed limit.
2) Give up driving completely.


3) Burn the speed camera.

Most gridlock (or starvation to be more technical) occurs where there
are two signals in close succession, such that the space between the
signals is filled quickly by one side and then the other side will have
nowhere to go. Actually this is commonly the situation at Henlys Corner
for the A406 Westbound. In the last couple of weeks they have been
resurfacing and there is currently no box junction and the approach has
become a lot emptier as a result.

Going on to the Edinburgh Bypass (A720) somewhere near Hermiston Gate
was the closest to that I've seen. A roundabout with traffic lights,
and a heavy stream of traffic at 6 o'clock (me) and 3 o'clock.

Every cycle, the traffic from 6 o'clock would stream onto the roundabout
until a red appeared on the roundabout, then stop, queued all the way
round the roundabout across my entrance. To move at all necessitated
pushing out on the red as soon as a gap appeared (and before the traffic
to the right started moving).

If the road is good for 60 or 70, then you won't be penalised for driving at

Is there no road in Britain good for 71mph?

Not sure, know of several good for 72mph though.

There is no connection between posted limits and appropriate speeds.
