Was out & about looking at potential property for sale up between Samford & Dayboro.
Country road. No houses, no street lighting. Just trees & scrub.
Came out of a side street onto the main road & turned left. When I stopped at the intersection, I looked right for on-coming traffic. About 300m to my right I saw a 1ooklm sign on the other side of the road. No signs in my direction so assumed it was 100klm limit.
Down the road a bit & see a cop car on the side. Kept cruising, wasn't speeding. Was right on 100klm/hr.
4klm down the road he pulls me up & books me for 20klm over. Seems I was in a 80klm zone. He said there was a sign just before he clocked me.
After receiving the ticket I went back & looked. Sure enough there WAS a sign. But it was BEFORE I turned onto the road. It was up the road the 100k sign that I could see.
In the photo below.
1) I turned left out of the side street just behind the car.
2) In the distance up the straight road behind the car you can see the 100klm sign for traffic going in the other direction.
3) You can also just make out a diamond shape sign on my side of the road which is a warning sign for the intersection that I am at.
4) the 80klm sign is (looking from my position) obscured by the diamond shape sign.
Took photos, marked up a map & writing a letter. Should get off. We'll see.
