Please note the following information in no way advocates breaking any speed limits but is a warning to prevent any spoilt holidays by some of the sneakily placed cameras on the main routes to West Bay / Bridport.
Although most of the fixed point cameras in the area are quite prominent and easy to see, there are a few that have been placed in such a way to catch as many vehicles as possible.
The following UK website lists all known fixed point speed cameras but we will list the local ones to West Bay. http://www.speedcamerasuk.com/

A35 - Vinney Cross Westbound. Speed Limit: 60mph Mobile unit located on right hand bend on downhill section, immediately at end of dual carriageway.
A35 - Chideock both directions. Speed Limit: 30mph Fixed cameras are at each end of the village both pointing downhill. The camera pointing westbound is outside a row of council houses going into village and the eastbound camera is on the pavement at the end of the gravel escape lanes. They are set quite sensitive +2/3mph. They are both at the bottom of steep hills into the village.
