A single speed camera is responsible for capturing more than 300 speeding drivers per week - it holds the record for the country.
The fixed camera has been triggered 51,049 times over three years whilst monitoring a 30mph limit on the A3024 Maybray King Way in Southampton.
The president of the breakdown service AA said: "A 30mph road generating the highest number of speed camera activations in England and Wales is astonishing."
A spokesman for the Alliance of British Drivers, argued that: "If a lot of people are being caught it may be that the speed limit on that road is ridiculously low."
Do you think that a high level of infringements on one stretch of road might signify that the limit is too low for that road?

Not knowing the area but using Google as my reference

I would say that 30mph seems a very low road speed for the conditions, I reckon that at least fifty-one thousand and forty-nine other drivers would agree.

Given that those yellow boxes stick out like a sore thumb I have to assume these drivers don't know the speed limit.
There aren't any 30 signs in view so it's the lamppost frequency that dictates, but, being a dual carriageway and no buildings I can see the issue.

Always expect the unexpected then you won’t be surprised.

30 mph reminders would be a good idea, but before the cameras. Cheap to install, but dramatically reducing revenue.
The road is a dual carriageway, with slip roads! No wonder people are caught out.

Looking at street view there are reminders ... and the cameras are hardly hidden 
Where there's a will ... there's a way. |

If you rotate the street view image by 180 degrees there is a lamp post covered in bunches of flowers. So accidents do happen on that road.
Agree that as it is a duel carriageway are should be lots of big signs...
