Smile - you're not speeding

An interesting alternative approach to reducing drivers’ speed on the roads - Vehicle Activated Road signs. Rather than a speeding fine for exceeding the speed limit – the sings show a smiley face to drivers travelling at a legal speed.  As well as costing much less to install as speed cameras - they have been shown to be equally effective at reducing drivers' speed. http://www.spectator.co.uk/coffeehouse/858781/a-nudge-in-the-right-direction.thtml
