Title: Average speed cameras in North Wales
Post by: Anquetil on 25 January 2018, 02:10:49 pm

Work started yesterday to install average speed cameras on an 11 mile stretch of the A5104 which runs between Pontblyddyn and Corwen. Work will be completed by February. I think that the 11 mile stretch they are referring to is between Llandegla and Corwen. There have been four fatal crashes and eighteen serious incidents in the past three years. This move follows other trials, such as cutting the speed limit,which have not delivered the expected results. I use this road two or three times a week. It used to be mostly a 60 mph road, then the limit was reduced to 50 mph. There are GoSafe detector vans regularly in attendance.
 Anyway, take care everybody as I am sure that a lot of you will be using this stretch of road on your trips into North Wales.

It seems to be the way of the world now. Reducing speed limits hasn’t had any effect so more cameras come in, not that they put the speed limit back up.  :rolleyes  There’s average speed cameras going up all over the place near me now.

Nothing to do with safety just using motorist as a cash cow again.
