I do the A303 from Stonehenge to the M3 and back a few days a week, there are occasionaly camera vans, most commonaly along the stretch between Thruxton and Solstice services heading west, also there are fixed cameras facing both ways at Solstice and another heading west at Amesbury a couple of miles past Stonehenge. I usually cruise at an indicated 78 ish.
I stopped to talk to the police the other day, they were pointing a radar gun at vehicles coming out of the 40 limit on the A344, i.e vehicles that had come off the A303 west bound by turning right at Stonehenge, had passed Stonehenge (on their left) in the 40 limit and were heading into the 60 limit.
I simply couldn't believe that they thought it more important to catch people who were accelarating a little early, though quite safely, onto a wide open stretch of road rather than catching those speeding past as visitors to Stonehenge crossed the road 1/2 a mile back.
