Those speed camera signs that litter our roads are a familiar sight, but would anyone under the age of 50 know what the icon on the signs actually represents?
Gatso speed cameras were developed 30 years ago in the early 90s, when everyone would have been familiar with the old Hasselblad style camera, but cameras have moved on a bit since then.
If you asked a teenager today what the icon actually represented in the real world, I think they'd have a problem making the association with the style of camera depicted, although they are aware it means a speed camera.
Surely it would be better to depict an icon of a yellow Gatso?
Or, perhaps, this icon.
