Hostile Speed Bump/Bad Road/Pothole Register


Mudman

Recommended Posts

Hi All

 

Not sure if we have one of these but have encountered a fair few and I am always aware and do slow down to practically a stop - I do run fairly low - Bilsteins on 17'' wheels and are OK with well constructed bumps but some these are shoddy and extra nasty

 

But here are a few for you

 

Cardiff Railway Station Car Park - grounded once and the next one was worse so had to hit the 4 ways and go out the entrance. Y Pipe not happy Bad scrape that still haunts me.

 

Kings Lynn - High Road ( back road from the Speedway Stadium to Watlington) too many repairs and adverse cambers resulting in a lunar type experience even at slow speeds

 

Cardiff - St David Centre multi storey - going up from level 3-4 nasty bump - hit Y pipe - not sure why planners insist on putting speed humps when you are going up especially on a very tight corkscrew track up

 

Ely/Littleport - Branch Bank/Queen Adelaide Way - the road that is the rat run through to Soham/Ely (A142) - very uneven have to drive at max 35-40mph (60mph) What looks like poorly repaired frost damage and bad camber on last mile as the road has been dug up and poorly repaired

 

Kings Lynn - Deers Leap Pub - Avoid the large gravel carpark as its strewn with potholes. The 7 or so spaces at the entrance on tarmac are OK

 

Hope the above helps

Good idea Mudman ~ if I started listing all the potholes in and around Cardiff though I'd be here all night typing. :lol:

 

Ely, Cardiff - Speed bumps flippin' everywhere!! misguided attempt to slow the joy riders down from back in the day but just seems to slow the Police chasing them & give's the criminals something to jump over.

 

Fairwater, Cardiff - Speed bumps again. Near newly developed area by "The Fairwater" pub. Anything over 20mph will rip off your sump even in an un-lowered Zed.

 

Pentyrch, Cardiff - Small "ish" village so no idea what idiot decided that speed bump's EVERYWHERE was necessary. :angry:

 

Think that'll do for now. ;)

In Buckinghamshire, the wife and I have a saying.. 'back in Bucks'. After a trip, we can always tell we're home on entry to the county - atrocious!

 

Lovely county but possibly it's something to do with the number of Bucks broads driving 4WD. :rant:

I like the idea of a place to come see what the roads are like so you can avoid speed bumps etc :) However, if this thread drags on no one is going to read through X number of pages in the off chance that a road they plan to use is listed. It needs a map with pins indicating speed bumps and dodgy roads :thumbs:
