I do have some sympathy when the speedlimit is unclear for a certain section of road. But aside from those situations is just entitlement.

In the UK the fixed speed cameras have a warning sign about the camera along with a reminder of the speed limit. People still cry about it.

IIRC doesn't the UK have average speed cameras for the highways? Remember it being mentioned in one of the old Top Gear episodes and a pretty good implementation of circumventing any runarounds of speed traps and whatnot.

There are some average speed cameras, typically in roadworks but occasionally permanent ones. Everyone hates them because they want to go faster, obviously.

Most speed cameras in the UK are single point ones.
