Legally it seems that at Beverly Hills the RTA is using the "Default speed", rule. ( RTA User's handbook, page 52 )to counter any drivers claim of lack of speed limit signs

So don't put up adequate signage, invoke the old default rule trick and sit back and count the cash all under the guise of road safety, and while doing so take away the licence of not criminals, but hard working ordinary people with families, jobs and bills.

What I want to do is get as many drivers who have been unfairly caught out at Beverly Hills, to hold up a RTA style 60 sign at a suitable time to show the RTA and Road minister Mr Roozendaal through the media, that that this is not the way to treat ordinary decent people.

You'll hear the line that the speed cameras are "for the childrens' safety"

I can accept that if the cameras were set only for school zone time, and there are Flashing lights, but how many children walk the streets of Beverly Hills at 2.00 am.

If you feel the same, hit the comment button at bottom of the page and tell me.

There's no catch I'm not after your money, I just want common sense, fair treatment of average drivers.

It will be difficult to get the mainstream media interested unless there are large numbers of concerned citizens involved, or if there is blood, death, buses overturned and distruction, we'll have to rely on large numbers to attract the road ministers attention.
