Damn, a great road ruined

[sven]

The wonderful A682 from the West Riding border just outside Blacko to Gisburn has now been ruined by an average speed camera installation

That’s one of my favourites ruined

 

[Jacal]

Feck! one of mine also sven. From your neck of the woods to Laneshaw Bridge, onto the "A682", then the backroads to Slaidburn.

One of 8 stretches of road in Lancashire to get average speed cameras. http://www.safe2travel.co.uk/more_info.asp?current_id=213 I assume its still 60 along it, so not so bad.

No great surprise it? I've just seen some footage of a guy on an SP1 clocked at 107 mph through Wet Wang

 

[Dennis the Menace]

Problem is the loony’s are now starting to travel on the back roads and making them bloody dangerous

Very good chip shop in Wetwang, I don’t suppose he saw it

"Clocked at 107"....Think he saw the prices ebbo

I live on that road and yes it is a decent road. I turn off now towards Downham at the top of Blacko then on to Chatburn >Slaidburn and then Lythe Fell to get to Kirby Lonsdale. Slower but great single track roads and scenery:

The cameras aren’t live yet. Not sure when they are due to be turned on. There’s also average speed cameras from Higherford to Blacko 30 mph limit.

I tend to use those back roads too, but used to like a thrash along the A682 on the way home from the Lakes or Dales

 

[Jacal]

Ah'well, I can always go the convoluted way.....Old Skipton road and turn off for Elslack, 'maybe' stop for a cuppa at Raygill Lakes cafe

 

[AberdeenAngus]

Wetwang...........snigger!

 

[IOM]

are these cameras front or rear facing ?

 

[Jacal]

IOM....sven says it's an "average speed camera installation"

Yup. But if they are front facing like many on the motorway...they won't bother a biker who doesn't go bonkers.

Yep, I suspect you are missing something. The older ave speed cameras were forward facing so to process a motorbike for speeding would involve loads more leg work to ID the bike and rider as that info wouldn't be available from the Ave speed camera system... at least I don't think so, would it ?

 

[vRSG60]

They point both ways.

Skipton Old Road is like a farm track along the top near Black Lane Ends. A disgrace of a road, a great ride though.

Average speed cameras recently installed down here face the traffic direction so pick up rear number plates. Most likely the new standard.

Thanks for clarifying.
