Thinking this through a little further ....

From google earth, it would seem that I was nabbed by a camera on a bridge over the road I was on.
This is probably why I didn't spot it.
Now, it just happens that I was trying a satnav for the first time on a bike, for this journey.
I'm something of an immediate convert and will use it more often.
I don't really need the voice instructions but it might be useful to have the speed trap warnings.
So, I'm thinking of bluetoothing my helmet.
If anyone has any suggestions as to the best kit, I'm all ears.

Then I got to thinking, it might be nice if you could get an audible notification of all speed limit zones .. to save having to focus on the signs.
Nothing obtrusive, but perhaps 3 bleeps for 30, 4 for 40, and 5 for 50 ... anything above that doesn't really need anything.
Repeated at suitable intervals, and obviously whenever the limit changed.
If Big Brother could be kept locked out, I'd go for a system like that.

Tbh, looking at the road in question, I probably would have assumed a 60 limit for that stretch anyway.
Hence my 59 would have been pretty decent.
