A303 on a 50

[davidkent89]

Hello.
Got a derestricted Piaggio NRG MC3.
Does over 50 mph on the flat, and was just wandering, am i allowed on the A303.
I knowits a dual carraigeway, and a fast road, but its the easiest way to go to my uncles, with an excuse to fly down the nice steep windy hill just this side of mere.

Surely its the same rules as a standard A Road?

you should be allowed on A roads i think. Just not motorways

just unsure as i have been told by some people i'm not allowed, and others i am, and i have never seen a 50 on there.

You need to learn the Highway code. The only roads you aren't allowed on as a learner which you aren't as a learner are motorways.

Peds are alowed on the A303, ive overtaken many lol.

Watch out on the A303 though mate. There is sooooo much roadkill on that road of death. There are some surface problems too, especially near StoneHenge, where they have resurfaced parts leaving ridges.

Ive seen more than 5 accidents on that road involving motorbikes this year, and alot of drivers stop paying attention to the road as they drive by the henge.

And as i originally said, roadkill is all over the place so keep your eyes peeled!

If it is not a motorway (which it isn't) then you could go down it on a pedal bike if you were so inclined - unless signs specifically state otherwise.

Yeah, as far as i know, theres no law, though to be fair, i wouldn't go down a dual carriage way on my push bike, and i wouldn't personally recommend that anyone does.

I wouldnt even consider taking a 50 on the motorway, you're dicing with death

The 125 I would consider (if I had my full licence), but I'd still be worried about it breaking down on me...

you cant take a 50cc on a motorway legally, however you can a 125 (with a full licence)

Are you 16 with L plates?

If so, could also be asking for trouble from a police that knows what's going on - one because you're endangering yourself, but further because you're 'ped is doing more than the legal limit of 30mph for a 16 year old.

I think you will find that its a motorcycle over 50cc, so a moped is not allowed. You could take a honda cub on there though.

EDIT - or thinking about it, mopeds may have to be below 50cc to meet class requirements, so either way, no mopeds on motorways.

Hi

Perfectly legal to take a moped on a dual carraigeway. Given summer traffic jams on there, at times you might be the fastest vehicle around.

However might be more enjoyable to use the smaller surrounding roads.

All the best
