I'm tempted to ask about how to slow, particulary motor bikes, down on derestricted (aka 60mph) roads. Still a bikee hit a stray sheep last week, now employed pushing up the daisies. Makes a change hitting a sheep and not a drystone wall. Effects the same though...

I reckon if you were going fast enough, it'd smooth out.

I suspect that you have to go through bureaucratic hoops to have one erected though!

The great Gatsos cost around £30k if full equipped with radar, flash and camera. £15k with just radar and flash as a deterrent.
In most areas, the cameras are moved around from unit to unit

Something like this was quoted in one of the quality rags a while back as an example of joined-up policing. Apaprently the car park of a beauty spot in the lake district or somewhere like that was constantly getting hit by car thieves, since punters left their cars their for hours on end whilst off walking. The Powers That Be awarded a franchise for a mobile caff in the carpark which meant that there were generally enough punters hanging around after (or before, or instead of) their walkies to deter the tealeaves from plying their trade.
(Of course it didn't turn said lowlives into honest law-abiding citizens, just moved the problem elsewhere, but on the scale of current law-enforcement thinking it was the equivalent of banging the rocks together.)

In article , Lurch writes
We were in Magdeburg a couple of years ago, and there were still many cobbled streets there, a legacy of the DDR. The noise level inside the car was dreadful, and would have been intolerable for any length of time. The cobbled streets tended to be very uneven as well, which meant that the best place to drive was along the comparatively level and smooth tram tracks. Which meant problems of a different nature.
