Queens Drive, Swindon
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

Queens Drive, Swindon
The static speed camera in this image http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/889453 is back in use so take care. Note also that the Police are in the habit of siting a mobile speed trap around the bend in the distance to catch the brain-deads who welly it after passing the Gatso.
Whether it will stay in use remains to be seen http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/wiltshire/7669100.stm

At left is a pile of crushed rubble. In time this will be taken off site and used for hardcore perhaps in a road-building project somewhere.
