Hi Eric

It's quite simple it a dual lane road you park on one side and walk to the other where the entrance to the halls are

All of about 500 Yards

Tony

You have to go on to the next junction (not far) and come back on yourself.

I'll be there on Sunday – look for me at the MyTimeMedia stand

Neil

On a related note, is the Doncaster show the same as the old Harrogate show, just moved south a bit?

According to the copper who gave e a ticket for it these gaps are not designed for turning right

Neil is correct in the safest way to do it, but if i remember correctly you turn right at the lights then u-turn in the car park entrance to turn left back onto the main road

I later appealed the ticket and it was cancelled as it's not illegal to turn right here, but you could cause an accident if the idiot behind you isn't watching.

Tony

PS if you want a disability parking space get there early they fill up fast

Hi Martin100

1) I said turn right into sandall beat road, then u turn in the car park not u turn on the road

2) Don't tell me tell the copper giving out the tickets

3) The gap is there for traffic turning right from the racecourse not turning off the main road into the racecourse (apparently).

4) by stopping on the carriageway to turn right you break the law as it's a freeway, if you turn right as I did without stopping you don't break the law (that's what the judge said at my appeal anyway….)

Tony

Having to go through two sets of lights and then make a turn into sandall beat road and then exit, back on to Leger Way, a junction with extremely bad visibility, and a conflict with bus garage traffic opposite is imho nuts.

For a right turn to be prohibited at the disabled car park entrance then there has to be a sign, there is no sign

The sign on the lampost just before the gap prohibits u-turns from either direction.

There is no mention of right turns being prohibited, and as the central reservation lines are clearly marked as broken then the gap can legally be used for a right turn (or for exit from the car park for a right turn) It is no different in law to the right turn into Sandall Beat Road.

For a clearway (not freeway) to exist then signage has to be displayed like this, large at the start of the restriction and all points leading on to it, and small repeats at a minimum of one mile intervals.

Or for an urban clearway like ths

The road at least further east, starting somewhere just beyond the location of Wickes was once a clearway, but that was a very long time ago, when it was a 60 limit with no traffic lights.

But a clearway does not prevent right turns across traffic, indeed there are two south/westbound right turns on Leger Way that have always existed and did so during the period clearway signage existed on that stretch of road.

But you have my sympathies, after all it is the wazzocks at south yorkshire police you will be dealing with.

Chances of the postie getting them to you by Thursday so you could leave home early on the Friday are slim

I think that's the one thing we could all agree on!

Neil

Hi,

I tried to post this question last night but it hasn't appeared?

Anyway I asked how come the Doncaster show (and any other forth coming shows) don't appear under the events tab in the menu?

Ian

Ahh I thought there would be a simple answer, Thanks Neil.
