A643 Elland Road 12 cameras starting Near Churwell Railway Viaduct Morley Speed Limit: 40 A total of twelve speed cameras have been installed in the last couple of months on the 1.2 mile section of Elland Road between the Leeds Ring Road and the "Angel" pub at the A643/A650 junction, here: Location: Great Britain Grid Ref:SE249277 X: 425000m Y: 427700m Lat: 53:44:43N (53.7453) Lon: 1:37:22W (-1.6227) Web Address: [URL="http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?lat=53.7453&lon=-1.6227&scale=10000&icon=x"]www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?lat=53.7453&lon=-1.6227&scale=10000&icon=x[/URL] .. There are 10 Fixed GATSO's arranged broadly in pairs either side of the road, and one pair of Truvelos Near Churwell Primary School. Installation sites of some of the GATSO's appears to be oddly chosen in that some are in 40 limit zones, and just beyond, or just approaching traffic lights or roundabouts where it is unlikely that 40 would be achieved anyway. There has been speculation locally that all the GATSO's are dummies (or have no cameras/or share cameras) and have been placed spaced evenly along the road simply to act as a disincentive to speeding, whereas the TRUVelo near the school are in earnest. This hypothesis has not been tested! It appears these *12* cameras have been installed under pressure from local residents. There is no history of accidents on Churwell Hill except one (at the Truvelo site) when a very very drunk driver hit a mother pushing a pram killing both the mother and her baby. ISTM that local residents were actually concerned about the high level of HGV traffic to the Junction 27 industrial estates at the top of the hill, which uses the Elland Road instead of the M621. An alternative nearby route south ("Wide Lane") has been "traffic calmed" but council can't "Traffic Calm" all routes so we get speed cameras instead as a sop and the council gets the revenue. BTW the Truvelo on the M621 slip road going into Leeds has been removed. It was installed together with a new 30 limit during recent bridge replacement works (presumably to protect the workforce) the camera has gone now but the 30 limit remains.
