New speed camera on Penistone Road?

I know there is a speed camera just before Wickes on Penistone Road on the way to town. But has a new speed camera been installed on Penistone Road on the opposite side too, that is, on the way from town to Hillsborough?

I only ask because lately, I have see many cars consciously trying to drive slower on this stretch, right up to Morrison's - and then speed away.

Speed camera software installed in your vehicle will tell you there is a mobile speed camera site opposite Wickes. I have seen a mobile speed camera van there although not that often.

I have cyclops installed on my phone. Quite accurate with locations and only 2.99 a year.

You never drive the other way to have a look yourself then?

Unless it's been installed over the weekend there is only 1 camera on the side heading into town. No camera on the other side

There was not one installed over the weekend as I went along there on Sat and Sun so no, there is not a new one on there.

I think people perhaps slow down as isnt there a camera sign on that new stretch where the new bus lane has been put in? Certainly no camera though.

Have just been along there to drop the car off for a service. Yes there are a few camera signs on that stretch - a couple which I think are pretty new. As you say, no camera.

Is that dual carriageway still on a 30 zone?

Yes - still 30 mph.

There isn't a new camera. The only thing I can think of, is that people know that McDonald's is popular with police. And when they park on the front, they have a clear view of the road. There's always at least one or two police cars in it when I go in/past it.

It`s a novel idea/thought but could it be more drivers are now OBEYING the speed limit on this road?? (taxis excepted)

As soon as people realise there are no cameras on that stretch it will be back up to 35 - 40 for most drivers (outside busy times).

I think some of the signs are pretty new - certainly can't remember seeing the one on the central reservation before today.
