I added a PS to say I'm sorry. The speed limits should be set properly. I know that. But speed limits are political - there are many stakeholders in the process.
Fair enough. But can we agree that the only really necessary stakeholder is safety?

The objectives are high throughput and low cost for all the stakeholders. Examples of costs are financial, safety, discomfort, environmental issues (pollution, noise) etc. I can’t really order them because you can't do anything without money, and it's not worth doing anything it's unsafe or very bad for people’s lives!

mr chirpy...You do get some warning of a 30mph, just not enough. This is compounded by the fact the road is mostly a 50mph limit. As you go around a sharp left hand bend there is a 40mph sign (To slow you down for the bend) then the limit goes back up to 50mph before dropping to 30mph about 100 yards further up the road and over a hill crest. About 50 yards on from the 30mph sign is a gatso but its angle to the 30mph sign as you go around the left hand bend and over the hill crest means that you dont see the bugger antill its to late.
