A1 ELKERSLEY, WORKSOP. LEGEND 50mph SECTION IS ILLEGAL*

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.

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)

Im going to report the sign issue to Nottinghamshire police now.

Also i am going to put some bentcop.biz petition notices up over the M1 motorway.. In the Nottinghamshire jurisdiction..

I think i will try book a meeting with the Chief officer...

Here if you remember the Highways patrol said they dont remove signs from the motorway at all.. Not their job..

example of how to Lower speed limit traditionally for a legitimate reason, briefly... advised.

Just a re-check and survey to confirm signs have been removed, and just one left in place northbound
