Site speed limits

Posted on 25/09/2023 14:47 by Navigateur

The only speed control measures that I have seen that are effective for all users are those where some physical obstruction stops the progress of a speeding vehicle.  There are a number of places where the approach of a vehicle above the set speed changes the traffic lights to red.

Since we don't have traffic lights around sites what could be an effective approach would be barriers that drop in front of speeding vehicles.  Not the flimsy plastic barriers as seen at site entrances but something more substantial thay would survive drivers not being able to stop in time.  Would also inflict some damage to the errant vehicles, which would probably be more of a convincer than anything else.

What would the cost be to the club to install your speeding deterrent, does it even exist?. I can just see the insurance claim "I was driving on a CAMC club site road when all of a sudden  barrier dropped out of the sky causing damage to my car"

I really do hope that this was a light hearted suggestion.

Morning

I mentioned upthread that the easiest and cheapest option would be more speed bumps. The even cheaper and safer option would be for people to have respect and use their common sense.

I stick the car in second gear, and let it tick over ,which the sat nav says is 6 mph,  and a number of times i have had caravan, and motor home drivers easily catch me up at speed on sites ,and look annoyed because I was holding them up

With out doubt this is a problem , not helped by the club,and site managers in many instances, ignoring these drivers ,and the issue
