I don't envy them their task. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non-Believer Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Restrictions throughout the island have had an effect, such as the 50mph limit on the Douglas to Ramsey coast road too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 They would have an effect if speed limits are properly policed and enforced. Also speed cameras would help bring in extra revenue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x-in-man Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Maybe we could have overspend hotspot signs too. Just to remind us where the money goes just before TT - an not at any other time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been flashed on UK motorways with Manx plates by speed cameras and never heard anything about it. I don't think the vehicle info is shared. Bikers would have to be stopped and ticketed I think. Non local ones that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Colombe Posted May 27 Author Share Posted May 27 Ooi, and in case you were wondering, KSIs on the signs means Killed or Seriously Injured(s) at that point. I was for a while. Wondering that is, not KSIed. Interesting really, for example 50 KSIs in 5 years seems very high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Ingham Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Here is Jersey. Less roads. Narrower roads. A low national speed limit and no international motorsport events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said 50 in five years on the mountain seems high (well, he didn’t actually say that but I think that’s what he means) I am showing that the island of Jersey has the figures above on their little 40mph roads, so it really doesn’t seem high at all to me for a main road with no speed limit which is a Mecca for motorsport tourists. If people do think it seems high and they don’t want to take that risk then they can go the other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sausages Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 But the example of 50 is at a specific point of the course. Comparing it to an entire island is bizarre and pointless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
