Question about Hillsborough tram gate


Recommended Posts

Posted

Have I got this right... ? I can cross Langsett Road from Holme Lane to Bradfield Road or vice versa at any time. But turning right from either Holme Lane or Bradfield Road onto Langsett Road will earn me a ticket?

 

Thanks

Yes, that's right. Not sure if you can turn right from Holme Lane onto Langsett/Infirmary after 7pm (?), but def not during the day.

If you turn right from Holme Lane onto Langsett Road then you will probably get a ticket.

 

You can turn left from coming the other way from Bradfield Road onto Langsett Road.

 

Got it? :thumbsup:

I drove over it from Langsett road about a month ago which you're not supposed to do, but I genuinly didn't know. Was expected a fine but I have not received anything :D

All correct. The right turn bans apply at all times.

The offences are recorded by CCTV operators, it isn't an automatic system. Inevitably some people do get away with it, you were lucky!

Didn't all the signs give you a clue?

Am I right in thinking that the operators "clock" people driving into a bus gate. IE/ the camera at the middlewood side of the lights looks for people coming into Hillsborough from Middlewood Road and the camera on the langset side watches for people driving into Hillsborough from Langsett Road.

 

I dont break the rules but I was under the impression that you have to be driving through the busgate at these points to be fined. If you were driving through the langset one going out of Hillsborough you arent breaking any rules. Likewise, if you drive along Middlewood Road out of Hillsborough again you arent breaking the rules.

 

Therefore, while it is wrong to turn right from Holme Lane up Langsett (as its a bus/tram/etc lane only) why would you get a ticket???? The operators wouldnt know where you came from when you get to the camera on Langsett Rd would they? You could be driving along the road because you had legally turned left from Bradfield Road.

 

You may get a ticket from other means (ie/ police on road) but I cannot see how the camera system can capture this infringement.

I didn't see them as I am not familiar with the area, and in my opinion i don't think the signs are very clear!
