how clear should speed signs be?

[allidave]

recently caught doing 38 in a 30 zone, having just come out of a 40. the 30 sign was at the side of the road facing the other side, rather than directly towards the oncoming driver so not very clear.

 

I cant find anything on the legislation pages which says how signs should be positioned, only the dimensions of the sign

 

any advice would be welcome.

I would guess some nice person rotated it.

There should have been a 30 sign on both sides fo the road, facing the oncoming traffic. If the sign had been rotated away from you then get some photos of it like that before anyone corrects it and you may be able to appeal on the bassi of unclear signage.

 

Was there only one 30 sign displayed and not one on each side of the road?

[allidave]

2 signs - facing each other though the earlier 40 sign is facing oncoming traffic

 

if we were to appeal but lose, could the court offer the speed course rather than the points?

No. Courts cannot offer SACs.
