Speed limit

Mark, surely part of the problem is that a fixed arrival time will ensure that a glut of arrivals occurs exactly at 12.00 even when the site may be partly empty. A less rigid time would help arrivals to arrive in dribs and drabs

I don't see the link between the 2, it matters not what time you arrive.

On your argument people only speed when they arrive at holiday really!!

If people speed they need telling. The rules are the rules, if people don't like them SPEED somewhere else

Perhaps if we would advise that you inform a warden or perhaps your confident enough to approach speeders and politely ask them to help us maintain the speed limit on site the message may get through.. We try to manage excess speed on site but we are not always present. If members do report it to the warden team, then follow your concerns up later on ....The biggest risk on site is people v traffic so the safer we can all make it the better......it is pleasing to see we are all concerned....

Mark, when the wardens give members the little chat about pitching to the peg, where the bins are etc, do you also reinforce the on site speed limit and that anyone caught speeding will be ejected from the site and reported to HO for a review of their membership?

OK, i made the last bit up, but ive never been 'advised' about the site speed limit when checking in....lots of other 'useful' stuff, but not this important safety message.

surely, this is the time to ram it home rather than have other guests snitching after the event?

its quite easy to tell folks that maintaining the speed limit is as important, safety wise, as pitching to a peg and that the club (through yourselves) has a zero tolerance policy

nor I, particularly, David....just mooting that, if it is a real issue, there is an opportunity to make folk aware...

perhaps leave out some of the other 'helpful info' to make room for this....?

I think to ask members to approach anyone to admonish them is asking for trouble, just the slightest change of tone in the voice could have people shouting at each other. Sorry, the wardens are or should be trained for this.

Oh I say !!! People know they are speeding, so why would they get shouty if admonished by a fellow holiday maker in the confines of a CC site? 'Fair cop guv' would be the adult response, they are adults to have a lcence to drive a unit 

A tip if someone gets shouty, turn and walk away, shouting at someones back carries no weight as the shouter can't see a reaction and soon goes quiet. That's what my young daughter is taught

Write your comments here...seems more an issue of those keyboard warriors who like sitting on high horses whilst having a good moan as they have nothing better or interesting in thier lives much like curtain twitchers, toilet block sureveyrs etc.  I cannot say I have really noticed anyone what I would call speeding, maybe over 5mph but not by much.  So long as we move around site with care and consideration and make sure we look out for the unexpected such as kids, dogs, little old ladies pulling wastemasters etc. there should not be any issues.

Not sure how many CC sites you visit, but our total is at least 100 nights a year. In my opinion the number of people who seriously flaunt the speed limit is far from insignificant. Particularly on a Friday, when I would think you would be lucky to get 50% observing 5 mph, at a time when it is more important than ever, due to the amount of movement on site.

Yes,  i had been reading this thread and wondering whether there were actually many speed related "incidents" that the club were aware of.

I dislike speeders, on club sites, outside my house, or just about anywhere, but I do wonder if the issue is overblown?

I dont know anything of the Rowntree incident but have read on here that it was not speed related.
