Queens Drive is a relatively modern road as it was only built within the last fifty years as part of the post-war expansion of south-east Swindon. It is subject to a 40 mph speed limit that was until recently monitored by a Gatso camera, visible at the left of the image. Because of local politics some but not all of the cameras have been taken out of service, like this one. More on the issues here http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/wiltshire/7506689.stm
