"Creep over the speed limit, and you might get a £60 fixed penalty and three
points on your driving licence. Really put your foot down in a built-up
area, and the magistrates could relieve you of up to £1,000. And that's
assuming you don't injure anybody.
But go up a ladder without approved ladder training to install one of those
flashing roadside speed indicators, and the bench could have £5,000 off you,
plus costs, for working at height without consent. Height in this context
could mean 3ft (90cm) off the ground, but you could still end up in the
Crown Court. Even if you didn't break your neck falling off.

Lancashire County Council has discovered in its attempt to improve road
safety in the northwest by installing electronic speed indicators which are
regarded as effective in shaming drivers into slowing down.

Thirty of the devices lie waiting to be put up on their roadside poles, but
the council has found that it does not have enough staff qualified to go up
ladders to install them. ..."
