The Government is reflected by its work & influence. And the Corruption and contradiction with what the government are DOING with the roads (Which they are avoiding admitting) is EXACTLY what they are doing IN POLITICS and it is THE PROBLEM WITH OUR SOCIETY AND CULTURE. And it is the FAULT of the GOVERNMENT. Saying one thing.. pretending to do one thing, when they have quite different, and to be honest, quite distastefull & sinister motives for the general society, while they are free to ABUSE and lie to the common good. Here... we see the FADED bend sign.... JUN 2015... In October 2008 the sign is in the same condition as the other sign. (If google maps records havent been changed)Then suddenly, it is faded?! and remains that way while the other sign remains the same. LINK> www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.6746703,-1.8272062,3a,75y,44.87h,67.27t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sSGMkEE6o45n9_SxarIE_SA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 I see this ALL OVER THE PLACE... Faded signs Next to new signs. They are NOT paired up as matching signs. Now you might first assume this is to save money? but regulations state clearly the signs should all be "as new" and CLEAN. The signs can NOT POSSIBLY fade at rates so different, when in the same location. And the fact that signs have been neglected to be cleaned only makes the CASE FOR THE FACT THE COUNCIL DO NOT WANT THEM ALL CLEAN & NEW only stronger. The fact is.. SOMEONE is going around dicking with these signs. And If it is NOT the police or counci... why hasnt the council INSPECTION identified it and tried to find out who is doing it? And again.. the signs only distract from the underlying issue, that it is the SPEED LIMITS THEMSELVES that in QUESTION and the PERSONS WHO ARE SETTING THEM. Here on the Elland bypass, its been made to look like the RIGHT sign has faded slowly, yet the LEFT sign remains the same?!  |

Even More signs mismatched sizes on the Elland bypass. I was pointing these out to the Driver who took us to community service in the minibus! i just noticed these ones then! The guy is EX-POLICE! and ARMY! he was brought up on a UK american army base or something... He did 2 years training in the police and I think 2 years service. I was trying to explain the road signs to him, but he was like in Foggy mode, he totally didnt register it at all. I am not certain he has the capacity to understand it, or else he could understand my questions & conversation to him about HIM, but not about the road signs.  (I was sat in the front with him) Like I said, standard police officer training is a bit like "college" level learning. (no offence) Oh, I just went to get a decent photo of the signs today & there was an ambulance the other side...

it is obvious that the prescribed signage is not correct in relation to the collaborating authorities (police partnership) duties to check & maintain the signage correctly.
Road traffic act 1991
23. Speeding offences etc: admissibility of evidence.
for section 20 of the road traffic offenders act 1988 (admissibility of measurement of speed by radar)
(4) A record produced or measurement made by a prescribed device shall NOT be admissible as evidence of a fact relevant to proceedings for an offence to which this section applies unless -
(a) the device is of a type approved by the secretary of state, and
(b) any conditions subject to which the approval was given are satisfied
Department for transport
use of speed and red light cameras for traffic enforcement: guidance on deployment, visibility and signing.
Legal framework:
18: Traffic authorities (police are a traffic authority) are required to ensure that all speed limit signing complies with the statutory requirements prescribed in the traffic signs regulations and general directions 2002 as amended. (not just any old adequate as Phil Tyson claims in police interview) thus Ossett bypass and Haslingden are a complete write off for 100% certain. (Steve fINNEGAN) (Dee collins)
32. red-light cameras - used at traffic light junctions where legitimate collisions are purported to have been recorded (not on video) because of vehicles failing to comply with a red traffic light. (not amber)
PRE-enforcement checks.
Non-compliance with the traffic regulation order requirements or speed limit signing requirements may mean that the speed limit is unenforceable.
35. whatever locally agreed deployment strategy* is adopted, there are a number of pre enforcement checks that are recommended before camera enforcement commences.
Ensure a speed limit is appropriate! (and not a 40mph road set to 30mph)
Ensure signing* is LAWFUL and CORRECT - traffic authorities (the police act as an authority to remove and place notices as well as guide and control traffic) are *required to ensure that speed limit and camera signing complies with the statutory requirements P.R.E.S.C.R.I.B.E.D. (wording)in TSRDGD or as specially authorissed (not illegally authorized or unauthorised) (not any old Phil Tyson adequate)
36. These checks should be undertaken each time prior to a period of enforcemennt taking place and, for those areas where enforcement is not regulary undertaken, checks should be undertaken on a regular basis (at least 6 monthly) in all cases camera and speed limit signs must not be obscured: they must be positioned so that they are clearly visible at all times (including actual RED light signals - AKA Peter fahy bottom of the moor traffic light camera signals)
note google maps October 2014? ossett bypass terminal signs not forward facing. error corrected, yet other signs left incorrect) robert halstead, dee collins, phil tyson)
SIGNING AND VISIBILITY CONSPICUITY
38. The following signing guidance is aimed at SAFETY CAMERAS, whereas the visibility and conspicuity guidance is aimed at speed cameras rather than red-light cameras as in all* ? cases ((note except 50mph + or on bend) a red traffic signal will clearly indicate that a driver is required to stop.
NOTE unless the actual camera itself is POSITIONED to obscure the view of the red light signal! (Oldham bottom o th moor)
NOTE thaat if a vehicle is close to the signal and it shows orange .. and if stopping would require sudden or dangerous braking, or if the vehicle is too close.. the orange light is tto be regarded AS GREEN.
what evidence does a 2 photo traffipax device provide of the colour of the light before the vehicle crossed the white line? other than rewinding the calculation of distance which, if the vehicle IS close to the line, PROVES with evidence that the vehicle WAS close to the line at orange. THUS it WOULD have been correct and lawfull to proceed as if the signal were GREEN.
also the council authority are allowed 3x colirs phases to be upto 1/4 secod incorrect which adds upto 0.7 seconds timing error between the anticipated time the lights take to change. thus these significant time differences between cameras DO pose to CAUSE drivers to contravene a traffic regulation order of a red light signal, if the timings are not all exactly the same.
Signing.
40. A speedlimit is made lawfull by the presence of street lights and/or a traffic regulation order AND the provision of PRESCRIBED speed limit signs (Phil Tyson) (Steve Finnegan) (Dee Collins) appropriately located that comply with the TSRGD.
41. The department has published an aide-memoire (DfT, 2006a) that provides guidance on speed limit AND safery camera signing and is designed to ensure correct and consistent signing ACROSS THE COUNTRY (not the roads that jack built & signed) It does not replace or update the legal requirements of the TSRGD but should be considered in its practice and best practise summary.
camera signs should be continued to be located with speed limit signs where permitted and practicable.
44. On every occasion before commenncing enforcement at a camera site, the enforcement officer should be satisfied that the relevant speed limit* and safety camera signing is present and correct. (Sgt. Phil Tyson, Robert Halsted, Rushworth, Dee Collins, D. Stickley, Amaging burt wonderstone, Callaghan)

I've just been delivering to Knaresborough today... It's called "Yorkshire care" and we got talking about the signs along the road... Because they are illegal size 50mph signs all along it...and a silver police car passed me on the road.. and I was thinking about the onboard recording equipment probably being under the same use conditions as the fixed cameras... I have has some stickers on this road.... Anyway.. this time we were talking about the subject he happened to remember a newspaper article about drivers getting refunded their fines! From Bradford Central Process Bureau!? But he said because of a road sign.. but I have found the story and its a traffic regulation order that was wrong! Also the guy told me a roadworks guy he knows got pulled by the police, told the police officer the road markings were wrong and he didn't get done the officer had to let him go! Here's the Rawden article! And bets are now on for the Ossett bypass, as they have had to change the signs! And I know know that its not just section .85 its much more because the measurements and recordings cannot even be used to prosecute because the police did not do the sign checks or comply with the road signage requirements for the road. So... It this still a joke on me, set up? Or are the police truly attempting to get out of being liable? Wharfdale observer around 1995 the speed limit was changed... 2005 the council found the error I think? m.wharfedaleobserver.co.uk/news/1990095.legal_loophole_closed_after_fines_for_speeding_at_rawdon_are_refunded/ |

How can a downhill bendy road into Whitby be a higher speed limit than the Ossett bypass dual carriageway with central barrier?

Ok so here are some TESTS with the LASER to help give people a visual idea what the police device will be behaving like on the surface of vehicles and between places and different types of surfaces.

How can the Ossett bypass be truly a 50mph speed limit compared to this Silverstone 60mph dual carriageway. No even the main A43 either!

Runcorn/Widnes example The Police making excuses for it not being their fault for road signs being wrong or checking them... so here are again the illegal 300mm National speed limit signs, NOGT in either the Traffic Signs Regulations and Directions 2002 OR the Traffic Signs Manual 2008 Regulatory signs, Chapter 3. Here near Runcorn, these police placed and created signs of illegal type bridge the link between the police and Highways both collaborating with illegal use of signage and direction. Thus one cannot keep blaming the other.    |

I do not actually believe that it is fair OR legal in LAW anyways to CHARGE someone with not being EXACT to a speed, when they have not been given a speedometer that is even is cabable of being as accurate as the LASER SPEED police device (when used correctly if thats possible) Because you do NOT have any readings that are any more accurate than the 1 meter stripes on the Haslingden Road even! for less than 1 meter!     Any to say... "Well it was over 50mph" or it was "over 57mph" is no good because if your prosecution cut off point is 57Mph in a 50mph road.. the speedometer is NOT ACCURATE to ADVISE THE DRIVER of the EXACT SPEED! But the POLICE & CPS are "GIVING PERMIT TO EVEN BE AROUND THAT SPEED ANYWAY" ! That is the point here. They are Publishing that to even be between 50mph & 57Mph is acceptable. Then when there is a dispute over the 57mph precision measurement.. they are turning their backs & saying.. "You are over 50mph" - but not accepting responsibility for allowing you to even permit that error in the first place... And on a road that IN FACT IS NATIONAL SPEED LIMIT ANYWAY! or WAS! This is not 55mph in a 30mph or 40mph road! or 39mph or 45mph in what used to be 40mph but is 30mph now. 57,58,59,60mph on a road changed to 50mph is WELL UNDER the PREVIOUS 70Mph speed limit (National) WELL UNDER. And 58,59,60mph is only just arguably around the PERMITTED THRESHOLD (which most speedos are not even accurate to) and 50mph is 20mph LESS than the PREVIOUS speed limit. Who would be driving at 40mph on a dual carriageway in a modern vehicle anyway? unless it is a wide load, tractor or special vehicle? I do not actually believe it IS POSSIBLE to SAFELY WATCH THE ROAD while HOLDING a SPEEDOMETER at an EXACT SPEED. because it is a difficult task that requires attention to the speedometer & NOT THE ROAD AHEAD. |

The Hunt for Red October?  Disco 2000? Haircut 100? " The Search for Chief 2000"  The Ossett bypass traffic regulation order took the council about a month to "appear" and send me. It is made out in 2000. And states that with consultation with the Chief of police the 50mph traffic regulation order for the A638 Ossett bypass is apparently placed. So.. not like the A65 Rawden Leeds that didnt have one then? unless they sketched one up and it took a month? |

LTI Laser Technologies ULTRA LYTE TESTS! OSSETT BYPASS FRIDAY 13th MAY 2016
CONSISTENTLY HIGHER SPEED READINGS REPEATED EXPERIMENT ON SAME VEHICLE THAT DOES NOT ALTER SPEED...
APPROACH SPEED HIGHER THAN AWAY SPEED FROM BEHIND!
THE FRONT OF THE CAR CONSISTENTLY GIVES A HIGHER SPEED READING THAN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE!!
THE SPEED IS USUALLY 3-5mph faster with readings from the FRONT of the vehicle!
VERY IMPORTANT EXPERIMENT! SAFETY CAMERA OPERATOR WILL NOT TRY THIS EXPERIMENT OFTEN! AS HE USES A FIXED DEVICE POINTING OUT OF ONE WINDOW! not changing direction and repeating more readings from the same vehicle! (though I am willing to bet they know this)
