On the estuary road between Teignmouth and A380, all over the lovely twisties.

Of course this isn't cheap speed restriction policies. It's common practice to put life endangering substances on smooth pieces of popular roads.

Never have truer words been spoken, if there had to be risk assessments done properly etc this stupid method of covering roads etc would be banned,

Something needs to be done about this crap, they only seem to do it to the nice motorcycling roads, even the small section of twisty's from pentuewan to mevagissy. Worst part is at the top of the hill there is a massive brow, they decided to grit from there down to mevagissy, meaning the road was still lovely untill you fly over the brow to discover lose grit and your going down a hill into a tight left with no grip what so ever.

Drives me insane! every time i used to ride to plymouth I would take the torpoint road but a few years ago they gritted that and its never been the same since

Sorry for ranting but it drive me insane!

No bloody signs either!
The only warning i had of this... was given to me via my rear end,
I guess a cloudy evening and being on a black visor didn't help... needless-to-say i came back via shaldon bridge

Gripiest roads ever you can easily get your knee down. but it won't be coming back up again though. Why do they have to do this for the summer.
