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