SpeedCurb Speed Camera on A1005 - The Ridgeway, Botany Bay (30mph)

This SpeedCurb speed camera is located on A1005 - The Ridgeway near Botany Bay in Hertfordshire, monitoring southbound traffic with a 30mph speed limit.

The Ridgeway runs from Junction 24 of the M25 towards Enfield and North East London. Botany Bay is an improbably named hamlet after about a couple of miles. The 30mph signs are clear, and the SpeedCurb camera is hidden in the high hedge on the left about 100yds beyond. The road markings are very faint, so it might be an empty case. I have seen it flash, however.
