Mobile Speed Camera on B5235, Westhoughton / Atherton boundary (40mph)

40mph speed limit Mobile speed camera

This Mobile Speed Camera speed camera is located on B5235 near Westhoughton / Atherton boundary in Greater Manchester, monitoring unconfirmed traffic with a 40mph speed limit.

TSS system situated just where Lower Leigh Road becomes Schofield Lane. A field path called Colliery Lane comes in from the east at this point and I have seen police cars occasionally parked there. I go this way every week, but I haven't yet seen them with the camera plugged in. Site is about 400yards north of junction with A577, and about 1/2 mile south of Daisy Hill station.
