New speed cameras along Whiteladies Road?

Not sure if they were speed cameras or not? They were yellow on the back, but they didn't look finished?

I don't think they are finished but they do appear to be rear facing speed cameras. One on the way down Whiteladies Rd between Henry J Beans and Henry Africa's, facing down towards Henry Africa's.

The second one is facing up the road just below the pedestrian crossing below the Kitchen Shop but on the opposite side of the road.

Odd places for cameras, most of the time you'll struggle to get 20mph, they're always congested.

I know, my thoughts exactly! Plus on the higher one they've left the pavement in a real state (as at Friday) got to be worth a tripping injury claim!

No bus lanes there, isn't it taxi ranks by Africa's?

I had another look this morning and the one by Henry Africa's is on the bus lane (it's also a part time taxi rank so you are both right!)

I couldn't see what times the bus lane is operational, I've got a feeling it's only a part time bus lane and as the road is quite wide there I wouldn't have thought that cars using the bus lane was especially problematic.

Who knows! We're talking about BCC after all...

They'd be far more use at the top of Passage Road at the Charlton Road junction. Dice with death every time I go home from work with inbound traffic howling up over the dual carriageway, part hidden by those loely pedestrian safety barriers!

Outbound cars are just as fast and the trees don't exactly help visibility exiting Northover Road.

Tsk! wink

Don't be crazy! There should be no cameras in Bristol at all biggrin

That junction is a joke! Too much confusion. People never knowing who has right of way.
