Sorry I was talking about France in particular, (where the cameras are small and grey), to illustrate the point that the gradual nature of changes in the UK may make people unaware of the change.
In France I've seen many places where the limit is seemingly artificially low and the signs placed in such a way that they are easy to miss. Not to mention places where the speed limit changes more than a dozen times in the space of just a few miles. Sometimes you only realise that the limit has changed when you find the locals steaming past you or all of a sudden you are going faster than the flow.
But even in the UK, time was, you could tell what the speed limit was just by looking at a road. Not anymore, so now we must use a certain amount of concentration registering and remembering what the current limit is, in addition to that used adherring to it.
