RE: Cows & Flies

Do you?

It's not entirely clear whether 20 mile an hour limits have any legal
validity.

AIUI, certain signs have a meaning as defined in the highway code:

- A black 30 in a red circle means there is a speed limit of 30 miles/hour
- A black 40 in a red circle means there is a speed limit of 40 miles/hour
- A black 50 in a red circle means there is a speed limit of 30 miles/hour
- A black 60 in a red circle means there is a speed limit of 30 miles/hour
- A black diagonal in a red circle means there is a speed limit of 60
miles/hour on single carriageways, and 70 miles/hour on roads with more
than one carriageway.

The meaning of a black 20 in a red circle is undefined :-)

This may be bollocks - but it's what I'd heard - isn't the law fun :-)

Oh its you is it - speeding through our villages - endangering the
children/cats/ducks/spiders.........

(yes that 30 sign is a maximum - I know you are so surprised to not be
sitting in a traffic jam that it goes
to your head :-)
(we also have a new 20 limit in our village which seems to be impossible
for
people to comprehend - even though it
is an extremely narrow, parked up, usually single file, twisty lane)
