Over the weekend a fake speed camera mysteriously appeared Saxby Road, in Melton, Leicestershire. It is thought that a resident who was angry at the constant speeding traffic along the road put it up to trick drivers.
Many drivers believed the fake speed camera was real One driver said: “I thought it was the real thing and anyone coming round the bend from the traffic lights with Norman Way will catch it out the corner of their eye. I think it would be a good thing if it helped to slow some people down.”
Although a rather small road, Saxby Road is busy with lorries going to Mars Petcare, Asfordby Storage and Haulage and an industrial estate.
A local resident Gary Sparkes said: “If the lights are on green when the traffic comes through it can come down here quite fast.” (we think it was him!)

I am sure when he puts the white lines on the road the drivers will get their revenge!!!!
In my opinion these fake speed cameras are a good idea. Maybe local authorities will take a leaf out the local residents book!!!!
