Anyone know the A66 ?

In particular the new Temple Sowerby bypass ?

Dual carriageway, armco down center, I thought it was 70mph on there.

Seems not, got a ticket for 72 in what I thought was a 70, seems its 60, can someone who travels this stretch confirm ?

I'm an occasional traveller on there, it's not been open long & I've only been on the by-pass a few times. I cant help you, but you might have helped me because I thought it was 70 & have been treating it as such!
I've not been so unlucky though, thanks for the warning.

Forget it, it is 70 but 60 in a van apparently, if they put a fixed camera there its 70 in a van

We use it, drove both ways Penrith to Scotch Corner on Sunday.
I thought it was 65mph as it's dual carriageway - only 70 mph on motorway (unless I'm missing something)
Bad luck anyway.

yes you are missing something. the speed limit for cars and motorcycles on dual c-way was upped quite a few years ago.
