Depends how accurately they are set up. I resent mostt of the ones around our area as they seem to be set 1-2mph low - in that I can be driving at an indicated 30 (or even 28/29mph) and they will still light up. IMHO that gives the wrong message to drivers because they take the view that if they are going to go off even when not speeding, why bother slowing down/paying heed to the reminder. If they were set 2-3mph over the limit so you must be speeding for them to go off, they may be more effective. Life's too short to bother arguing with the local authority about trying to get them fixed.
