liedon Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Please can anyone tell me what the speed limit is on Penistone road from Shalesmoor to Hillsbrough football ground. Some say it's 30mph some say 40mph. There are speed camera's along that stretch so we always stick to 30mph (having just paid £60 and got 3 points on a trip to Bridlington),but many drivers overtake us.

saxon51 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 30 to Kilner Way, then 40 up Halifax Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longcol Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 30 to Kilner Way, then 40 up Halifax Road. Correct - but as there's only one (fixed) speed camera on the road (on your left coming into town not long before the left turn towards Rutland Road) and it's dual carriageway, most people ignore the speed limit.

kay_cee Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I wouldn't risk it, theres frequently a mobile speed camera van parked up on the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beansforyou Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Its 30mph on any road if there is street lighting, unless it says otherwise. Penistone Rd is 30mph, the ones overtaking you don't know the highway code Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsmum Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 yup, its 30 mph - there are very small speed limit signs somewhere around morrsisons/bingo place...with speed camera warnings too. I was trundling along there tonight doing bang on 30 - i was overtaken by loads of drivers obviously doing more....hope a camera got 'em!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartempion Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I've often wondered why the speed limit on this road is 30mph. After all it's a dual carriageway and there's not exactly a lot of pedestrian activity, except perhaps at the crossing where Hillsborough Leisure Centre is. Does anyone know how speed limits are decided? It certainly seems like a 40mph road - I wonder why it isn't...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upinwath Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I seem to recall that it was 40 before and was dropped to 30. Unless there were bumps that were caused by speed I am taking a guess that it is a police cash machine. I am not defending speeding but there are places that it seems a little low at 30.

neeeeeeeeeek Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 It should be 40 but it's 30 and it makes them loads of cash so it's not been changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggletail Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I wouldn't risk it, theres frequently a mobile speed camera van parked up on the other side. Absolutely right about the mobile speed camera van there is a complete other thread on the forum about this somewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
