I have a similar issue.

I was recorded by speed camera doing 58km in a 50km zone. The road is a large road and there are no signs to indicate. IN addition, it was a gov work vehicle, im a child protection worker and sending a child to live with family and he needed to take documentation with him on a flight that morning.

I sought leaniency on compassionate grounds given the circumstances coupled with the fact the speed of the road was unknown.

The response from police was i failed to keep within the speed designated by signage. This is where i challenged again, based on their response (keep within the speed designated by signage), to advise there is no signage. They avoided this in their follow up response to basically say fight in court or pay the fine. Ive paid the fine. Im a little salty. But im not sure its worth the hassle. I will acknowlede i can be stubborn so im never actually sure whether im towing the line of being stubborn VS to do whats right.
