extended 50 limits across the mountain this year - chris4652009 - 23-05-2018
just got a message from a friend who arrived on the island yesterday.
50mph from ramsey out and up past the goose neck for some way then 50mph before the verandah through bunglalow then 50mph from keppel gate to past the otherside of brandish

I live here Chris and there are no significant changes other than a 50mph on the Ramsey-Douglas coast road.
The 50 limit has always extended up past the Gooseneck and ends just before Joey's

The end of speed limit used to be as soon as you were past The Hairpin, used to nail it up through The Waterworks.

checked with IoM Constabulary Faceache and they said same as usual/last year but they were considering a limit also at the end of Hailwood's Rise into Brandywell but decided against it ... for this year. Over earlier than expected, be getting a lap or 2 in later.

I think the Mountain should be no speed limit from Hairpin through to Cronk my Mona with maybe a Police car at the Hairpin just like the old days. It used to be class up there back in the day, there is no such thing as "Mad Sunday" any more, it is more like "Mad stuck in a 37.73 mile traffic jam moving at snails pace Sunday"
Also, and I will probably get told off for this, but I don't really get this Simon Andrews legacy lap at all, what's it all about?

It's been past the Gooseneck for a long time. The earliest record I could find was 2009 http://www.tynwald.org.im/links/tls/SD/2009/2009-SD-0613.pdf

You said that it has always been up past The Gooseneck, my point is that it hasn't.

I've just looked back at a video I shot in 2016. That year the cones went from just after Whitegates to just after Waterworks 2. However, at the end of the cones and again just after the Gooseneck there were 50 signs. The first unrestricted sign came about 100 yards or so on from the Gooseneck.
Cones start again at the Graham memorial through to the junction at the Bungalow (but with no evidence of any speed limit signs).
Just after a 60 sign before Keppel Gate the cones re-start through to the Creg where the limit has just dropped to 40. The limit increased to 60 again just after the Creg then drops to 40 again on the approach to Hilberry. It became 30 just before signpost Corner.
