It's showing 1hr 45min drive for me at present and that is the reason everyone thinks it's far off but early morning should be an hour drive🤞.

Are there many speed cameras on this route?

[Stan Hassett]

There are speed cameras but it's worth the effort. I was there last weekend and it was the most fun drive I've attended so far, beautiful sloping dunes, and not much soft sand, 100% recommended! I would love to join but I can't this week because of a friends birthday. Have fun guys and hopefully see you the following week...

Yes, and the cameras in AD are set exact at the speed limit, so don't cross it.
