Review the unfair 80km/h speed trap on N25 Glenmore

The 100-to-80 km/h transition at the Glenmore camera on N25 is too abrupt and the signage is insufficient. Drivers are being penalised while safely slowing down. Please extend the zone, add better warnings and review the camera position for fairness.

Why is this important?

The speed limit change from 100 km/h to 80 km/h on the N25 at Glenmore is dangerously abrupt, with poor signage and a camera placed right after the signs. Many responsible drivers are being heavily fined while they are still safely slowing down.

This is not about road safety — it feels like a revenue trap. Over 30,000 fines in the first year prove the system is unfair. We need better advance warning signs, a longer transition zone, and fairer enforcement so that honest drivers are not penalised for a badly designed speed limit change.
