There's this sneaky little van, usually there once a week, parked illegally, on the grass bit of a curb.

However, it isn't seen until you go round a bend in the road, and BOOM there it is pointing at you. :listenup:

This is a disgrace!!!

The van can't be seen until the very moment you see it, and whats more, it is placed just after the 30mph signs. Surely this breaks the legal requirements???

For those of you who know the area, its on the round-a-bout going towards pen-y-maesroad from the Sainsbury's park.

My mum got done by this camera for doing 36 a few months ago, but they put "Ruthin" on the location so the ticket was void. :bighand:

Does anyone want pics of this? I'm sure It'll be there during another rush-hour ;)

Are you talking about the A525 (if heading into Rhyl) after the big roundabout the little supermarket access roundabout with the dead end opposite.

If you are, the supermarket roundabout has an NSL or did until earlier this year.

No, it's the roundabout after that one. The NSL is finnishes immediately after that roundabout, and it then becomes 30. Take the next right and that's where this little bugger tallivan sits, straight after the bend.

Ahh,
I never turned right, I was always heading to the Marine Lake,
a cop car often sits opposite the supermarket,

The supermarket roundabout being an NSL is not exactly road safety/speed limits being set/designed at their best :roll:
