New types of camera being tested at the moment calculate your average speed over the area they cover, and can now cope with you changing lanes as well, we have some being trialed in Leeds.

Its amazing how many people think this.

We will have to keep an eye on these to see when the covers come off.

Was just informed by someone on my work that there was a big accident last year coming into newtownards at the top of the hill, ice on the road, car spun off into a field, so keep it safe!

Fredy,
The accident to which I referred earlier was when Paul Shaw (20) and Philip Harkness (19) died on the dual carriageway on December 19 last year.

hate to contradict you but the national speed limit on a dual carriageway is is 70 http://www.highwaycode.gov.uk/09.htm unless otherwise advised by a sign. for example the dual carrigeway from bangor to newtownards is 70 miles per hour

To be totally true the speed limit is 'a speed suitable for the road and road conditions not exceeding the posted limit'.

They were coming out of the junction at the top of the hill (on way out of ards) and were hit by another car coming up the hill. I forget the name of the road.
