BEWARE...if travelling to east coast!


Recommended Posts

I travel to the east coast on a regular basis. About half way there, at HOLME ON SPALDING MOOR there is a section of road where the speed limit has very recently changed from 40mph to 30mph. It is not very well indicated and in no way "feels" like a 30mph area. The powers that be have taken it upon themselves to position one of their mobile speed traps there on a regular basis. Someone I know very well fell foul of it, they were travelling at a speed which was below the old limit, but in excess of the new one!:mad::rant:...what a lovely day!:hihi:

Wow...you lot in the walkers group must walk fast! :hihi:

 

Seriously though, yes, about every other time I pass through there I see the speed traps out (although I always associate that stretch with speed guns anyway - I remember as a kid we travelled through that area quite often and even then, one trip it was the first time I remember seeing a copper with one of the new fangled radar guns, just a bit further up, nr Bainton)

This zone is now actually well indicated as a 30mph zone. It appears that what the police did was to change the speed limit from 40mph to 30mph and indicate it very badly, then set regular speed traps to extort as many sixty quids out of the persecuted motorists as possible before then indicating the zone properly and withdrawing the cameras.

Is it the section of rd with the BP petrol stations on each end??

I think that is Howden bypass, the stretch of the road you mean is where the old MFI, now Howden Joinery is situated, thats where the mobile speed camera's are, its been 30 as long as I remember. Holme on Spalding Moor is about 6 miles away.

It is at Holme on Spalding Moor...it is about six miles from Howden. Howden has 3 different speed limits in the space of a mile or so, the speed traps are often operating there too. They like their sixty quids.

The Talivan is often on the stretch of the A614 between Spalding and the A1079 roundabout, especially just after the little roundabout near the dumpit site just outside Market Weighton.

 

They also like to cover most of the A614 from Spalding all the way to Driffield and most of the villages on the B1248 between Beverly and Malton.
