[edit] Speed Limits
Much of the road is through countryside, and has the National speed limit (60 mph) applied. A 5 Kilometre (3.5 mile) stretch of the road passing the village of Leven in East Yorkshire (known as the Leven By-pass) is Dual Carriageway, carrying a 70 mph speed limit.
The road does however pass through many villages and settlements, where the limit is reduced. A 30 mph speed limit is in operation through Beeford, Bridlington, Filey, Skirlaugh. A 40 mph limit exists through other villages such as Fraisthorpe and Coniston.
In Scarborough, Bridlington, and the Kingston upon Hull boundary, the limit is 30 or 40 mph.
Some stretches of 30 mph/40 mph limits are monitored at certain times by mobile speed cameras, operated by Safer Roads Humber.
[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].
