The High Court has ruled last week that people cannot be convicted of exceeding a speed limit if the signs cannot be seen.
Commenting on the ruling, Paul Smith, founder of the Safe Speed road safety campaign (www.safespeed.org.uk) said: "This is a clear victory for common sense. People cannot be expected to respond to invisible signs."
"The authorities must ensure that their signs meet all the regulations and are not obscured."
"It's extremely hard to understand what was going on in the lower courts."
