Joe has a story and a photograph of street sign that talks back.
Reminds me of the battles the authorities have with speeding motorists on the F6 freeway. Thirteen or fourteen years ago, they put up a huge, bright sign that displayed each car’s speed as it zipped past. Of course, many took that as an invitation to make the numbers go as big as possible. My friends regularly got a score of 180km/hr. I’m sure others topped 220.
That sign came down fairly quickly.
Well, technology has marched on and recently a new interactive sign has appeared. And the RTA have learnt their lesson. It only activates when it detects a speeding car and instead of showing the offender’s speed, it shows their number plate.
Much more effective.
