Because nobody has got it, I shall say the answer. This is the B4696 just south of Cirencester heading towards the quarries. So hard that nobody has got it. :lol:

As I have ran out of ideas for WAI pics for the time being, I've come up with a new quiz. The aim of the game is to guess the speed limits of the 11 pictures of Gloucestershire roads. These limits will be 20, 30, 40, 50 & NSL. Good luck to anybody who tries.

This quiz still has the rules in because even though we aren't finding roads, I have a feeling Truvelo will know the speed limits on them.

To give people a clue, numbers 4, 7 & 11 have had their speed limits reduced.

I'll narrow it down then. These had their limits reduced in 2006 and 2007.

Are you expecting people to answer in the thread or via PM?

Of those I got wrong:

1. Has some evidence of development, but surely not enough to make it a 30, so I'll go for 50

2. I thought might well be a 60 as there's little evidence of modern improvements, but if not I'll go for 50

3. A fair amount of development, so if not a 30 must be a 40

5. Doesn't look at all urban, so I'll say 60, although the central hatching does suggest a road that's been "improved"

10. Again not very built up, but there might be an industrial estate or similar on the right, so I'll say 40

The answer was Hill Top Drive in Rochdale, next to where BBC1 drama Waterloo Road is filmed.
