    Gateshead
    Speed Limit: 30
    Situated directly on a hair pin bend.The road speed limit is well marked
    however it is almost impossible to stay at 30 coming down the bank from
    Streetgate towards Lobbley Hill unless you ride all the way down in low
    gear and keep the brakes on. Traffic coming up the bank struggles at 30
    as most drivers want that bit of speed to give them a "running start" up
    the bank. The camera is often active. The revenue that camera must make
    must be a good money gatherer.

    Paul MULLEN () gurgled happily, sounding much like
    they were saying :
    Indeed it does, and a very good thing they are too. It sounds like North
    Wales might actually be on the way to getting priorities in road policing
    sorted.

    I would suggest that the inhabitants of Rhyl don't want the scrotes from
    Liverpoll,and Brum that are too stupid to tax their car either. If it's
    not taxed theres a good chance it's not insured, raodworthy etc...

    Only been there for 3-4 years! positioned on a bus stop, halfway between
    a pelican crossing and the entrance to the tech. just where the road
    narrows with cars parked both sides, 400 yards from the County police
    headquarters any one getting nicked by this one ( I have never ever seen
    it flash) deserves to be done fro being blind and stupid.
