The FC and Police line is that the road in question, like all open-access FC roads, is treated like any other public road (highway/singletrack/adopted/not adopted - doesn't matter), and it has an enforceable 15mph speed limit (for bikes as well as cars presumably), and it's illegal to injure people, drive without due care, drive under the influence of alcohol/drugs etc etc

You were the one that mentioned signs. Not wide enough for a couple of car without going into the verge though is it. What would you know anyway mr all cars are evil.

It certainly looks wide enough for two cars to me, but a car thrashing along there at speed, meeting a couple of cyclists riding two abreast coming around a corner in the other direction is going to be in deep do-do. If drivers behave and stick to a sensible speed, then as far as I can see in that photo then there should be no real conflict. Trouble is, put some young drivers on a gravel road, and their surname changes to something out of Finland and they drive like an idiot.

That pic was never taken at GT. No one has body armour and full facers on.
