Slow Down! Huge 30mph Sign Painted On House
A man has painted a 30mph road sign on the side of his house as part of Road Safety Week UK.
Tim Backhouse from Bow in Devon, says he painted the enormous sign to highlight the issue of speeding vehicles in his area.
Residents have complained for some time that fast moving traffic has made it difficult to cross the road to the village shop.
The sign, which is as tall as a double decker bus, will greet drivers on the A3072 until December 5, when Mr Backhouse plans to paint over it.
In the meantime, drivers on this road will not have any excuse to keep speeding!
what do you think?

Good for him. Keep it there for good

Sadly it won't slow some idiots down. Our laws are too soft on dangerous drivers. A car is as deadly as a gun in the wrong hands.

Is it legal though??

Who cares. If people drove properly and carefully in the first place then the guy wouldn't have had to paint a big bad ass 30 sign on his house. Perhaps a painting of a dead child may have a bigger impact?

Well done to him, I listened to his interview with Jeremy Vine this afternoon. He has a very good and valid point

This is totally justified by the 4X4 overtaking in this picture.
