owever, this article and some of the comments fail to understand that putting up a sign does not change the speed at which most people drive. All it does is criminalise reasonable behaviour.
So true. Over the last five years or so, at least 90% of Telfords' NSL roads have been slashed, mainly to 40MPH and one dual carriage way to a silly 50MPH. A recent FOI search to speed surveys carried out before xmas shows that some of these roads still have up to 70% of drivers exceeding the new limits...obviously the new limits are ridiculously low and local drivers are expressing their views in their actions but will the people who set these ridiculous limits ever see reason?
