Stavros Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 and also all the way along the straight what I've forgotten the name of on the S100 course Interestingly, I noticed this too although the Ballakeighan has a 50mph speed limit coming out of Ballabeg, it doesn't have any speed restiriction coming from either Castletown direction (unrestricted) or Fishers Hill direction. So presumably, you can go as fast as you like down the Ballakeighan towards Ballabeg but you can only travel up it at 50mph. How odd is that!

I think the sign from Castletown side is just before the give way sign coming onto the bypass from CRHS road, may be mistaken though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 That sign is 50mph going onto the bypass although unrestricted coming off the bypass and heading towards Fishers Hill. 'Castletown Bypass Sign' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeliX Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Aha! Clearly people who work in Ballasalla/Douglas and live in Ballabeg are all better drivers and thus allowed to drive faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 But only on their way home? Alternatively, use Duck Street now that it's reopened and just ignore all the different speed limits like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirstabby Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Duck street was closed? I must have been blind cause I'm sure i've driven it pretty much every day this fortnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirstabby Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Have I got the right place? Duck street is the road from ballabeg to ballasalla, right? Anyway, got me a nice new signature to prevent this sort of thing in future -----------------------\/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Having checked, there is now a sign before the junction to the Ballakeighan coming from Fishers Hill for 50mph and the sign at the end of the bypass from Castletown towards the Ballakeighan has changed from unrestricted to 50mph. I do wonder why the Ballakeighan needs to be 50 mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
