Campbeltown expanding

[WC1]

Arrived back from a weekend in Glasgow around teatime tonight and was surprised to find that the 30 mph speed limit signs are now at the west side of Drumore Cottages and not at Lagnagarrach, where they had been when I left on Saturday morning. Was this advertised in the Courier's public notices (could well have been and I simply missed it)? I recall something similar happened at Muasdale recently.

I went past at 9am Saturday morning, they had been moved by then. I only noticed when I saw the NNSL sign at the brow of the hill. So they must have been done at some point last week.

Think it was on Friday the change took place. Not sure if it was advertised in the Courier.

You were both lucky the police were not out with the speed gun on Sat!

They were done on Friday right enough - I had a course in Ardrishaig and had a wee shock when I got back down the road!

And I used to be in the Observer Corps! Mind you, it was 6 am and still dark when I left.

[RMcC]

Aye i noticed that! was pretty confused after being away on holiday and came back to find it out as there was nothing to warn people, but surely you can't go straight from a 60 to 30mph? should it not be staggered? (or are the counters there and i hadn't noticed?)

[Mr.Everready]

Yes, pretty sure there are the countdown markers.

[Tubby the Tuba]

Quite annoying really, but surely a better solution would be to have a 40mph right down to the Peugeot garage, then a 30mph?

Ah well at least Ive got ma speed camera dectector in case I forget and theyre hiding at the side of the road wi their speed gun.....

Saw this in the Courier about a month ago I think. The notice also mentioned that it applied about 100 yards up the Gobagrennan road too if I recall correctly.

[JAACRAIG]

They are moving the 30 mile limit on the Carradale road from Fort Argyll up to the top of the hill.
Only know as saw the planning note when we were out for a walk.

The count down is there, I only realised the new 30mph was there on my way back in the West Road the other day, when I had actually passed it! Same at Muasdale, I've actually passed the count down signs and I've realised I'm in the new speed limit, which I've had plenty warning about it. Really should be big flashing signs pointing this out!

Think it could be a 40mph til Snipefield from the start of the new speed limit, and then 30 into town til the Kinloch Road entrance and the 20mph in the centre.

[Tubby the Tuba]

20mph would be far too slow in town centre.

Instead of introducing a speed limit in the centre, the traffic route should be sorted so it flows more efficently, ie no right turn at longrow south, no parking/stopping on Bank of Scotland side, one way at burnbank, etc

interesting thread ...

driving at high speed in Campbeltown is recommended only for thrillseekers & adrenaline junkies anyway ...

... given the amount of potholes and other suspension destroying hazards.
