New speed limit and four-poster SPECs system.
The A631 Gainsborough Road (Bawtry to Gainsborough) between Everton and Gringly on the Hill now has a lower speed limit.
The speed limit on this road as been reduced to 50mph and a brand new SPECs system was installed at the same time. The SPECs system runs from, the East of Everton Village to the East of Gringly on the hill, covering both directions, it is a four-post combination.
Many parts of the A631 are still dual carriageway and do not warrant a speed reduction. This site will be very lucrative for the authorities.Best Regards

March 29, 2004 at 10:52 pm #18305XV16ParticipantSPECs use 2 points over variable distances and calculate your speed between both of them. more sophisticated systems can have a number of combinations and they all work in conjunction with each other. My local SPECs system has 7 points to pass through, a majority of the general public don’t understand the way they work thus slowing as they pass the first cam and then speeding up until they approach the second. This is too late your average speed between the 2 is taken and an automatic NIP is on its way.
This is what they look like…
