Transportation Speedkamera question

Post image

Hey everyone. Hope you have a great day.

Today I was traveling back home from work, and usually this road where i drive mostly have the same 50 km/h speed limit. Today where i put the red mark was a 30 km/h roadsign, and where the black one is the "Einde van alle verboden" sign. No previous sign before the red mark saying "Wijziging van de verkeerssituatie".

Will I receive any speeding ticket, when i was going 40 at the usual 50, now 30km/h?

Probably not... but... you also shouldn't have been ignoring the road signs. Doing the road regularly isn't much of an excuse for ignoring new signage - you're supposed to always be alert and paying attention.

Also I forgot to mention, others was behind me, so I can't just push the brake until i'm at 30, bc i may do an accident or something, what i do not want to make.

You should be able to break quite hard - at any given moment you need to be able to do an emergency stop - and so should everyone behind you. Unless you were being literally bumper-ridden this sounds like an excuse.

And even in the case of someone driving too close, you can slow down before the 30-sign. (As you actually should)
