Speeds reaching 132mph have been recorded on Brandish Corner since it was realigned say alarmed Onchan Commissioners.
...at the commissioners' meeting this week, rural committee chairman Keith Watterson said according to DoT speed count machines installed after the works, the maximum speed recorded of vehicles travelling northbound was 117mph while southbound that speed reached 132mph.

The commissioners expressed their ongoing concern about such speeds, particularly near the entrance of Ballaskelly Farm, spoke of a potential 'accident waiting to happen' on the reformed road.
After a request from the commissioners, the DoT has now installed another speed count machine which is currently in operation.

cool, so this "speed count machine" does it tell you how fast you are going?

just wondering as their are not limits in IOM on that stretch, is it like a "see how fast you can get it to read" type of thing?
