A3 - Stag Hill to Eashing?
Discussion
Saw these on my way into Guildford earlier, joined at Milford and first thing I spotted was the dreaded yellow pole!
Seem to start at somewhere between Godalming (B3000) and Hurtmore and stop somewhere south of Milford.
There's signs up saying roadworks for 14 weeks, so I'm praying only temporary! Anyone know any more?

Hmm, i'm hoping only temporary too.. In the 6 months i've gone along there, (twice a day) i've not seen one crash.. So can't imagine they'd be there for that.Seem to start at somewhere between Godalming (B3000) and Hurtmore and stop somewhere south of Milford.

Yeah, but the Yellow wire that i'd imagine goes to each to link them starts right up near the hill at the hogs back!
Yeah, 14 weeks is abit over the top if their just putting SPECS up!.. Maybe its something to do with the massive traffic that Hindhead tunnel is going to bring to that area of the A3?
I'm hoping some people with more info will be along soon!
Fingers crossed for temp. only!
I was gutted to see them going up, its a good bit of road I dont see the need for them.
I do wonder though if it will ease the flow up hill just after the Milford junction North bound, people pull out of that junction, go straight into the outside lane and sit there, normally with me behind getting very annoyed
And as for teh speed camera going south bound at the road works thats def.changed, seems to point at you, with no lines maybe reading No. plates / tax as well?? and its grey which makes it even worse!!

Doubt it, its the modern mentality of 'I have a fast car therefore being in the outside lane is my right'.I do wonder though if it will ease the flow up hill just after the Milford junction North bound, people pull out of that junction, go straight into the outside lane and sit there, normally with me behind getting very annoyed
I agree though, I'm forever joining northbound at Milford, burying my right foot, pulling straight into the outside lane to clear the traffic I've just followed at painful speed down the sliproad only to have them pull in front and leave me sat there frustrated going nowhere

Wheres that ?Jonny671 said:
The right hand laners, when you've just come on Northbound from Milford are really annoying I agree!
Or, they come down the slip lane at 30mph.. The whole idea of a sliplane is to join at the same pace, or is it just me?
I had one pull out on me today at about 40MPH, just coasted out without signalling. I was doing 70 (ish) and being overtaken by 2 cars so couldn't pull out! TWUN T!Or, they come down the slip lane at 30mph.. The whole idea of a sliplane is to join at the same pace, or is it just me?

Is it just me or have they forgotten to put a national limit sign up northbound after you've cleared the cameras and roadworks at Hurtmore?

My Dad and I thought they were Average Speed Cameras, what are they exactly?
Exactly that. Waugh-terfall said:
Has anybody noticed the Gatso at the actual A3 Tunnel Works heading towards Hindhead? It looks like its got plastic or card over the inside lenses and is facing the opposite way to the road markings...
Its not a Gatso, its a Truvelo camera. It doesn't use the road markings, there are strips in the road surface itself that it uses to detect the speed of traffic. You can see them, they are like 4 / 5 black marks across the road just infront of the camera.Gassing Station | Thames Valley & Surrey | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
