littlebasher Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Has anyone else noticed the works on the Parkway, inbound near Matalan? They've installed a new crash barrier to protect what looks suspiciously like the beginnings of a new speed camera. Im not starting a anti-speed camera thread (against my own feelings!), i merely wondered if anyone knew anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thingy Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Where is this ? There has been one past matalan just as you get into the 40 limit for ages, so unless they are putting another one in, i don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been one past matalan just as you get into the 40 limit for ages, so unless they are putting another one in, i don't know. The work they're doing is almost directly outside Matalan, further back from the existing speed camera.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heyesey Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I'd be astonished if it was another camera I wouldn't. Considering how many people bomb down at well over the speed limit, and only slow down where the camera is - seems like the only way to make them slow down any earlier, is to put another camera further back. In fact, put speed cameras every 100 yards, all the way along. That way nobody will speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solarman Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I think they are for the car parks, they tell you how many spaces there are left, or they may be big signs to say SHEFFIELD CLOSED - GO AWAY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barclay Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Its not a speed camera that has been in stalled its a mini dot matrix sign like you see on motorways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaks Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Only 90? That stretch of road is good for at least 110. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
