Cockshut Lane used to be a 60mph limit. The only objection to reducing this to a 40mph limit was Derbyshire Constabulary. There is a sign reading 'Police Speed Check Area' but I have never seen any sign of any road policing taking place. Much of the traffic coming into Melbourne comes down Cockshut Lane at much more than the limit. This makes turning out of the residential side roads very much a game of Russian Roulette.
This clip was taken whilst travelling at 40mph in the 40 zone. Watch how hard the driver hits the brakes for the corner. It is regular to experience oncoming traffic coming around that corner towards the hill astride the white line. It is also fairly common to see traffic pulling out from Melbourne without giving way to approaching vehicles. It can only be a matter of time...
