[edit] Speed Limits

Much of the road is through countryside, and has the National speed limit (60mph) applied. A 5 Kilometre (3.5mile) stretch of the road passing the village of Leven in East Yorkshire (known as the Leven By-pass) is Dual Carriageway, carrying a 70mph speed limit.

The road does however pass through many villages and settlements, where the limit is reduced. A 30mph speed limit is in operation through Beeford, Bridlington, Filey, Skirlaugh. A 40mph limit exists through other villages such as Fraisthorpe and Coniston.

In Scarborough, Bridlington, and the Kingston upon Hull boundary, the limit is 30 and 40mph.

Some stretches of 30mph/40mph limits are monitored at certain times by mobile speed cameras, operated by Humberside Safety Camera Partnership.

[edit] Safety

In the European Road Assessment Programme (EuroRAP) survey, which gives all major roads in Europe a safety rating, the A165 is categorised as 'Medium-high risk' [1].
